Well, the good news is that it wasn’t really popular in 2014. It probably didn’t become popular until about 7-8 years ago and that was thanks to smartphones.
You’re right as far as devices go, I was just adding a year or two because most people don’t switch phones immediately at release.
The other side of that is I’m probably a little biased because I was using the weird usb-b 3.0 micro connector (the long ass one) until a couple of years ago on external drives until it got too painful to open up my sample libraries on spinning platters.
So maybe 9 years ago and my view is colored? Or between 7 and 9 years ago depending on how you’re measuring popularity?
Nonono, USB-C isn’t over a decade old…

The Nexus 6P had it in 2015. Samsung was one of the last to switch over, and they still did in 2017. I’d say closer to 9 years ago.

Yeah my 2021 hearing aids were microusb and that’s late enough I was annoyed but not surprised. I’m due for a new pair this year and they better be C.
