> if you're just a regular person buying a random USB-C dock at the computer store, it's very likely the model you're going to get will support charging, display out and fast enough port speeds that using an external drive won't be painful.
sure, but, when they plug it into their computer it's not going to work because almost no motherboards support video or pcie over their type-c connectors. the dock will do it, that doesn't mean the rest of the system will.
also, while the cable that comes in the box will work... what if you need a longer one? if they buy a random usb-c cable off the shelf, will it work with video? survey says probably not... especially if they're a typical consumer and buy the cheapest one.
