This article was an interesting one to read-at least for me.  I still do wonder what is all the real fuss is about.  I buy adaptors for my own  electronic devices all the time.  Which helps keep them around as long as they work.

Like my newly purchased  Micro USB silicon keyboard I bought just this week.  Connected right up nicely to my equally new USB-C smartphone to text directly on.  Big improvement over that awful virtual on screen keyboard!

USB-C may require higher licensing fees and different hardware support. It's more than just a physical port change.

Perhaps.  I am still able to text directly on it via my smartphone as shown on the provided photo.  As the text onscreen states-It Works!  Though, my equally new 2 USB-C powered Tracfone Nokia 2760 &  Unlocked 2780 dumb phones do not accept the input from the exact same adapter.  Perhaps your reason explains why.

Texting T9 style on a flip phone gets very tiresome very quickly any way you look or actually do on it!
