I'm fine with I²C. Fast enough for a very broad range of usages, very cheap, very easy to connect to microcontrollers, very easy to develop. USB lacks most of those features.

Heck, using I²C you can connect your mobile directly to an RaspPi or Arduino, which will be great for innovation.

And then imagine we can we hook up that little board (maybe other half) up to a vidock ($200) requiring us to buy a $100 to $200 graphics card and play our steam games with a steam gamepad because steam app runs on sailfish with wayland.

Let's do that. Let's make that happen. That's the next step in convergence. We have to admit that the graphics cards are still 10 to 20x the size of a smartphone in size so just dock to an external $100-$200 graphics card using vidock and play all your steam games. Laptop and desktop disappears while we wait for graphics cards to shrink.
