the problem is the plug is rectangular (has exterior rotational symmetry) AND not reversible - if the plugs were L shaped it would be clear by both feel and brief glance which rotation was correct
USB-A walked so USB-C could fly.

No one ever had doubts how type B or mini B or micro B go in.
I agree with most of your post, but micro B is a step too far. That fucking plug was always inserted with the following procedure:
- Try to plug it in.
- Flip the side and try to plug it in again.
- Flip it again because you had the right damn side the first time.
Always, always, always.

The worst thing about USB is that it always takes 3 attempts on average to get the fucker in if you don’t know the orientation of the port.
Which proves that is has 4 dimensions of space!
That would explain why they were able to fit so many gigs into such a small little device and sell it for like, 20$.
