    Gotta love troubleshooting your data connection before you realize you grabbed a power only cable.

      Such things should not be allowed to exist.

        No, there’s a good reason for them to exist, but they should be marked as such.

          What’s the reason? A slightly cheaper cable where data isn’t needed?

            Eliminates a malicious threat vector. Gives you piece of mind to charge your devices without worry that what you connect to is going to interact with your device.

                I’ll give you a piece of my mind.

            it’s also safer when wanting to charge from untrusted chargers, though you can still get an adapter to block the data pins or just bring your own wall charger/battery when traveling
