Most micro USB cables that came bundled with phones or gadgets were built so cheaply that they don't even have data pins. They're a pain to sort out whenever I want to program a board.

Im also finding this with USB-C unfortunately

The one good thing about Google's Social media experiment was that guy who reviewed USBC cables to see if they actually adhered to the standards.

It's shocking how many didn't have the proper resistors or components to properly handle data and charging.

I used to keep every cable that came with any electronics. USB-C convinced me to throw away any cable I didn't specifically buy. Even my charging cables are USB4 240w 40gbps because I got so tired of guessing which cable did what. I don't even need those specs but I'll never have to wonder which cable to use.

You cannot make a statement like this and not drop a link or a brand name my guy

Monoprice is my go-to for cables. Has been for years.

Anker builds pretty solid cables too. They're the go-to at my place of work.

Why not, I'm sure plenty of companies make the same cable available across many wholesalers?

I'm sure the USB forum is finding ways to identify cable capabilities easy. /s
