In my house just a couple of weeks - I used my first USB-C device
last month, via a cable to a USB-A plug. Another flimsy little
connector that I'm likely to break, like devices with MicroUSB
connectors, when I accidentally catch the cable with my arm and
yank them about.

The USB-PD standards are interesting. Upon first reading about them
I was keen to find/design a device to just break out the outputs
and have a mini variable power supply for general use, even battery
powered from one of those power bank devices. But as with most
things USB3/C it turns out the power supplies that are actually
available only implement the bare minimum range of voltage outputs
that the manufacturers think most people will need.
