The motivation is the same for re-branding 4G-LTE as 5G (or 6G). Sell the same thing with a new name so customers are tricked into thinking you're selling something newer and better based on the spec sheet without context.
- imcs 8y ago> Sell the same thing with a new name so customers are tricked into thinking you're selling something newer and better This is an argument towards rebranding to NEW USB 4! Which is ironically what we want at this point. There's a deranged lunatic in charge of USB naming that's inconveniencing everyone, including the companies that sell USB devices. Funnily enough corporate interests and user interests should converge on this but for some reason no-one's stopped this chaos yet.
