USB-C usually works just fine, until I use it:
- My phone doesn't want to charge as the USB-C cable keeps wanting to fall out. Sure, it's like 5-years old now, but still, it's a pain. I've tried all the tips and tricks like cleaning out the lent and such, but it still doesn't want to stay plugged in.
- Not all of my chargers are compatible with all of my devices. The tablet won't charge on less than 9V, so only on my QC bricks. But I have a couple USB-C UHF radios that won't charge on anything other than 5V, and my QC wall-worts don't support 5V, so again, no charge. So now I have to carry around different chargers for different devices, so no benefit to the universal standard.
