The problem is that people always imagine their specific requirements
are generic without reference to precisely how many other "generic"
size/form factor/resolution/colour/touch system etc combinations
there are that could be considered equally generic.

Look through the catalogues of any of the larger distributors and
you'll find tens of pages of different "generic" switches and a
similar quantity of various connectors.  How many times have you
still found yourself thinking "Hmm, none of those are quite what
I'm looking for, surely _someone_ makes an off the shelf switch
with X, Y and Z..."?
