I think people are confusing this with Micro USB.

USB-C is a *different format*, your cell phone Micro USB cables will not work with this.

USB-C has many other advantages, but odds are not many people have these cables in their homes yet.

There's no way the 3DS could've used this, this format didn't exist back then. 

no, people are happy because this thing charges your device really fast, user friendly, can be used for external processing power and different inputs like hdmi and vga etc, also, not propietary and you can buy a cheap one or an expensive one.
