The fact is that a lot of people in the industry put money and effort into developing the USB-C standard. If you're not going to implement them properly then use a proprietary connector instead. To use USB-C connectors and not use USB-C protocols is at best mis-leading, at worst it's a deliberate attempt to profit from other peoples work (the design of the connector, the economy of scale of using an off the shelf part) without contributing anything. Nintendo should be ashamed of themselves.
My GBA plays Gameboy games, my original DS plays GBA games, my 3DS plays DS games, my Wii plays gamecube games, my Wii u plays Wii games. It's not unreasonable to expect backwards compatibility on Switch, it is unreasonable to expect me to pay again to play games I already own....
