Normal people use WiFi not Ethernet so they only need a power cable. If the outlet provides USB-C it eliminates the need for wall warts.


If you're plugging in anyways why not make it ethernet though? Then you actually get multiple benefits (faster more reliable networking, freeing up wifi capacity for devices that actually need it) rather than just changing one cable for another.

I realize that for whatever unknown reason there are a subset of people who think everything should be wireless, but those people are wrong and should not be listened to.
