Apple shipped the first mainstream products with USB.

" Apple Inc.'s iMac was the first mainstream product with USB and the iMac's success popularized USB itself.[15]" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB

I built my own PCs at the time. it took about 5 years before USB gained wide adoption. Today the smaller, reversible, faster, USB C standard is on the verge of becoming a standard. I feel like it's the late 90s all over again. Apple first and the PC industry taking its good old time. Why is it so difficult to ship a couple new ports, along with that legacy USB?
