In practice this is significantly smaller issue than most media and techies made out to be.

Most devices are USB, they work and charge over the connector just fine. On laptops, connecting displays work as well. They will either use TB or negotiate for HDMI/DP which is also fine.

The only real outliers are crappy companies which deliberately break protocols like Nintendo on their Switch.

There are USB-C Charge Cable, that does no Data ( To save cost )

That is assuming the cable could do TB, which is also not true.

Once you get USB-C to everywhere to everyday normal users, they expect it to plug in and work.
