UWB is 2019 technology which has a very very limited use and even more limited range. USB 2.0 predates iPhones by 4 years and USB3.0 is at this point 15 years old. You've been sold polished turd at premium prices and everyone is now stuck with their mouths full defending the move when it reality it's last years pro hardware shoved into this year's "new" device with USB type C hacked in to avoid EU ban.

This has nothing to do with when people last transferred files from their devices or what you like or what you think everyone else will need. This is the case of Apple selling you wheelbarrow at the price of a car and people saying it goes fast downhill and they never wanted to go uphill anyway.
