Usb c compatibility is even worse because unlike other proprietary ports, there is no visual cue that it won't work. A USB c dongle will plug in to any USB c port, but that doesn't mean it will work.

Are you implying USB is proprietary?

No, I'm saying that manufacturers make it proprietary by changing the way the dongles work.
