I use AdGuard on Firefox, and I've seen the pop up. So far I haven't been able to get rid of it, but I can still close it and continue watching.

I also have custom blocking lists, Privacy Badger, tampermonkey and PiHole, so it might be a problem with one of those instead of AdGuard.

Most people do what you say, but there are places where you don't have a stable internet connection, or people who like to keep their storage offline.

I don't mean to say that there are no alternatives to a fast cable, or that most people should use it. But it's a feature that comes with the cable, and there shouldn't be someone trying to cap it just for profit.

The controllers for the communication protocol probably cost something like 8 cents, Apple shouldn't screw their customers over that little cost. Even with a feature most people won't use, because it's nice knowing that you have the possibility to use it if you need to.

It's faster than network data transfer. I don't know exactly how fast can WiFi go, but most if the time it can't even exceed 1Gbps. However, USB-C 4 V2 can reach 80 Gbps, and isn't all that affected by electromagnetic interference.

For transfering a few photos, you won't notice a difference. But if you need to back up a 256 GB phone, the difference in speed is actually big.
