I think this is dumb.

I like the idea of everything using USB-C, but in reality I have found USB-C cables to be unreliable (with power and with data) when used with a device other than the one it came with.

You could go on and on about power ratings and spec adherence, but I have never had such issues with Lightning cables.

Same here. I've had nothing but bad experiences with USB-C.
