I'm still confused because no one explained why they do this.
And for USB hubs it was hard enough to find a decent powered version for regular Type A ones. It felt like everything was some chinese garbage that would fry your devices, based on various reviews - if you could even find a powered one that is. Ended up paying somewhat premium for an Icybox. Not that I regret the purchase, but I feel something as simple as an USB hub should neither be that expensive nor that hard to find, or in regards to quality to produce.
