I just had a thought USB is now more of a clusterf^H^H^H^H^H^H^H complicated than the mess of cables interfaces it was meant to replace back in the mid 90's.
It's amazing how much that mess of cables either wasn't solved or wasn't solved by USB. My power, network, sound and display cables weren't replaced by USB, my printer was replaced by a phone/tablet. It replaced the PS2 ports for keyboard and mouse, saving about 2 seconds of setup time at the cost of more latency.
It his (or has been) handy for connecting gadgets and drives over the years, but maybe we should go back to PS2 and just use it USB for "front of the machine" ports.
Counterpoint: A mix of USB-C, Bluetooth and Wifi have replaced my power, network, sound, microphone, printer, keyboard, mouse, phone charging, and display cables.
