    My kids gaming pc tower has a set of usb ports on the back and a set on the front. It’s great to have options, but he’s not going to use them all. Ie he has ten usb ports for the five he uses

      Fair enough, but not everyone is your kid. Needing to have things plugged in at once shouldn’t need defending. I would prefer to leave things plugged in if I can. USB supports that, so why wouldn’t I?

        I mean the point is there’s a convenience factor where you might have twice as many ports as you’re willing to use

        It’s not just that you might have more devices or want to leave them plugged in, but you may find some ports undesirable to use
