It would have been great to have micro-USB in the shape of USB-C. Without all those new features and extra pins so manufacturer could replace the port just by soldering to the same 5 traces. This could've been over within a year.
I was surprised to find the converters I purchased were so big because of the electronics inside. I had imagined a converter would just need to be a micro-USB socket and a USB-C plug with some wires joining the two together.
