We took the same problems we had with serial vs SCSI vs parallel port vs USB-A vs Firewire and smushed them all into one connector, USB-C, with like a dozen different standards (USB 2.0, USB 3.x [which is like 5 different things on its own], USB 4, TB 3, TB 4) and now you just throw money at cable roulette until you either find one that works or you build a shack in the woods and start writing a manifesto.
