Yes, it was my mistake assuming he was in the US. I only read the blog post and did not see this was KMart Australia. The poster asking "Isn't the use of USB-C promotion without at minimum basic USB compatability disallowed?" is explicitly a social/political issue. KMart lying about its products is explicitly a social problem thats larger than just one person replacing a circuit board in his lamp. Hopefully there are legal remedies that can be taken in Australia for violating industry regulations.
