Apple

I have two USB-C cables on my desk plus a Lightning cable.

Those two cables will charge my two laptops, my mouse, my PS5 controller, my iPad Pro, and my battery packs. I rarely find a scenario where I need to charge more than 2 at once.

Meanwhile the Lightning cable is only ever for my phone.

Yes, you want more than one cable, but USB-C means you can just have a couple of identical chargers that are big enough for your largest device but can charge anything. No more trying to find the right charger for the right device.

I charge with a magsafe charger, and this switch means nothing to people like me.

When I travel, I usually have only one charger now a days.

But the biggest advantage has been that anywhere I go I can get my device charged. Even if I forget my cable at home.

I remember years back when each device had a different port. Accidentally forget my charger, had to run around a new city at night searching for open store so that I could find the right cable.

It's not about the number of cables, but the number of cable types. The combinatoric explosion sucks. I've got cables for A-to-B, A-to-mini, A-to-micro, A-to-C, A-to-Lightning, C-to-C (some capable of TB3), C-to-Lightning. Apple already went all-in on USB-C with their laptops years ago, to the extent that they ditched every other port for a while. The sooner they do the same on the iPhone, the sooner we can leave behind the inconvenience of having the wrong cable or lacking a dongle.
