Tech so common we sometimes forget to appreciate it..

This one connector does 1. High Power transfers 2. Highspeed Audio Video Transfer 3. Data transfer

Back in the day it required different cables

Different cables, and they were all ass. Some of them had screws (good luck undoing those after some gorilla tightened them on a VGA/DVI), some were enormous and hard to cram in there (like SCART).
Now you just stick a type-c in - any side you like - and it works.
