USB-A is still widely used, serial is not.
Apple is forcing standards when there is no need, … again

And serial ports were widely used when usb was introduced.

For mobile devices I don’t share that experience. I do not expect others to have USB A anymore. MacBooks alone are so widespread that they were enough to get sna adapter.
It’s the same for displays: if I have to give a presentation I’m making sure I can do next to everything down to and including VGA.
Yes it’s the venues job to take care of that but I’ve been in one place that literally went like “can’t you just connect?” to their apple bullshit.
That Apple is rotten to the core in many topics is nothing I feel needs discussing - this includes specifically their hostile stand and compatibility.
I honestly don’t even see an issue with the adapters though: it’s 5gram, 2(ish) Euro and sometimes I can even be the compability savior and people are forced to listen to me bitching about Apple!
