I've seen enough devices with the usb ports mounted upside down, for whatever strange reason. Also sometimes you want to plug something in without looking, this is much easier with USB-C

That's wild, I've never seen an upside down port.

I agree reversibility is better and am happy usb c will finally kill this meme.
