Really, my question is why ThunderBolt isn't more widely adopted?

[–] SimplePhysics@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My guess is the cost of Thunderbolt compatible hardware, which explains why only premium devices (ie Macs) have TB ports. TB cables are also much more expensive than the average USB-C.

That's true. I didn't consider the cost. Good point.
