Comment on USB-C extensions are not allowed for a reason
stoly@lemmy.world 1 day agoThe USB consortium has responded to this sort of need over time, but they have to do it in a way that is completely backwards compatible. It might be possible to do this in a new release of the standard, but it may also be that millions of cheap cables would be rendered useless in the process.

Non-compliant does not mean useless. They will continue to work with devices that use the old standard. PD is already a mess, and especily devices without displays will often fail silently without indication that it’s the wrong cable or adapter.
