I get that. But spec writers never have to do that, yet there are many other specs that are presumably less insane. So it's unlikely that not-requiring tech support is a causal factor in USB's supposed insanity.


Reading the thread would also explain that you're discussing somebody's 'fantasy', not expectation or belief of causality.
