A person in the world makes a thing, shows you the thing, and even nice enough to give you enough info so you can also make the thing if you want.
Turns out the thing is not useful for something you picked out of thin air and that makes you feel disappointed? Where is this entitlement coming from? Why would it need to be useful for the boating crowd? I know a person who builds grandfather clocks. Absolutely useless on a boat. The cabinetry would warp in no time. Does that too disappoint you?
Furthermore, the nice person who shared this design now, also shared previously a real watertight design. Your boating crowd can still use that. It wasn't removed or invalidated by this newer thing at all.

I really don't understand what you are saying. Are you saying that the author should have used watertight USB connections because someone might read their post later and that someone might have a boat?
Please tell me that I'm misunderstanding what you wrote.
