I consider myself more techy than the average person. I’m a developer, I used to use Linux, and I used to root my Android phones.

Transferring to a new phone, stuff transfers over wirelessly or backups download. I’ve got everything in the cloud these days. No real need to connect to a computer.
That said, I do think it’s frustrating if this is a limitation of the port rather than one of the cable.
