     @be Sadly that doesn't stop people wanting to use a different one that isn't the right type :(

     @LovesTha @be Yeah, there can be some technical reasons for non-removable cables. For example, the USB spec requires you to design for the worst-case voltage drop and signal integrity for the worst possible cable allowed by the spec if you're use a USB connector, but these requirements are greatly relaxed with a hard-wired cable. It's also the reason devices that plug directly into the port are so popular...

     @be I agree, but some of the reason here is so they don't get complaints from people using the wrong USB-C cable.
