One of the best things about USB C and lightning is how you can connect them both ways. Why aren’t all cables like this? HDMI, Ethernet, display port, USB A, etc. Why weren’t these ever designed to go in both ways from the get go? It seems like a simple thing.

Not exactly really necessary. Desktop computer connections typically are very rarely removed/reconnected, so it’s not really a high priority
