Not exactly my experience. I've owned a handful of USB-C devices, and there are devices from major manufacturers that will only charge from a USB-A to USB-C cable. No C-to-C cable convenience; you need to carry a Frankenstein C-to-A-to-C cable. Yes, Philips, this /is/ bullshit.

Such devices are not to spec, and check for this quality before purchase, and avoid products with fail to meet the spec. I've managed to avoid buying any products without C to C compatibilty.

This is largely what I'm talking about in the last paragraph of my post.

Sure, I'll check consumer goods are to spec before purchase, on that big list of USB C spec compliance that - checks notes - does not exist.
