USB-C is supposed to be the new standard, but it’s not without its issues. The port is designed to handle many things, but the implementation on the hardware side is still up to the OEM. That one port is on many things, but it doesn’t mean every device will behave as expected, depending on what you plug it into. For example, many USB-C devices don’t feature Thunderbolt-3 controllers, so plugging a TB3 enclosure into such devices will get you nowhere. There has also been an issue with cheap non-standard cables not only being unreliable, but actually damaging equipment, since USB-C is designed to supply way more power than previous USB port/cable specs. It’s been a bit of a minefield.
With that in mind, and without trying to sound like an Apple apologist, this is why Lightning connectors aren’t such a bad thing, or perhaps at least one of the reasons Apple has used their own connector. As it is, cheap, off-brand lightning cables just don’t last. Every non-Apple cable and charger I have ever purchased has failed in less than a year, but none of my Apple-branded chargers and maybe one cable have failed. And some of those cables and chargers are several years old now. As crazy as it sounds, there is a very wide range of quality in these relatively simple items. I think this lack of certainly has severely hampered USB-C adoption. It seems most OEMs just use it as a standard charging port, but even then, it’s not a comfortable standard.
Am I glad that I stuck with the weary old CS6 and hung on to the CD. Seems to do everything that I need. I downloaded a trial of LR once and didn't even try to use it. The interface just overwhelmed me. I guess I'm just an old dog who doesn't learn new tricks 
Truth is, I have trouble remembering the old ones most times
