That's an effective summary of why I care so little about USB-C devices. Only two ports at a time, and no PD+data, doesn't quite mean it's useless but certainly doesn't help anything.
Now people do like USB-C cables enough that future pods are likely to have USB-C connectors, but it'll still be a basic USB2 with no power draw. Just using the cable people like.
I like USB-C simply because it tries to eliminate the Schrödinger USB paradox. Tripp lite did try to fix this with the Universal Reversable USB cable though,
