It's probable that like some symbiotic relationships in nature the body must have him in order to survive now. It's totally dependent on him now. I wonder if maybe his species damages or destroys cognitive function in the hosts brain so it can take over that job instead? If that's the case without the symbiote the body would just be a vegetable.

Stuff has to move with the times and there's no avoiding that. We don't make floppy disks anymore for data transfer either, and some of the older connectors are no longer in wide use. Give it a few more years and vga will vanish completely from the market(still on some motherboards) to be replaced by DPort and HDMI.

Apple has been trying very hard for years to create their own product bubble with limited compatability to anything outside of that bubble. This means their own OS on all their products, Bluetooth compatability problems to none Apple related products, and yes connectors.

This is why I dislike them as a company. At least in Microsoft land we can buy pretty much anything we like and expect it to work with our tech. Microsoft and Linux can run on the same hardware with no issues. Apple you basically have to buy from Apple, or someone that has a contract with Apple. Mac stuff requires its own proprietary hardware on their computers, smartphones, and tablets. You can get the Mac Os onto a PC but hardware wise it's all Mac shit. Limited market competition means higher prices.
