The only thing that's universal about USB is the universe of different goddamn connectors used.
Apple had the right idea on this.
Follow Ups:
I'm sympathetic with ghost's complaint about the plethora of "small" USB connectors. But historically, Apple has been the worst offender. They have a habit of designing their connectors to be unnecessarily different. Examples I can think of are DIN-8 carrying standard RS-422 serial, HDI-30 for SCSI, ADB, HDI-45 video, ADC, Firewire, 30-pin iPod and iPhone, mini DisplayPort. They fought USB at first, and only gave in after 3rd party peripheral vendors wouldn't touch Firewire any longer.
At least they got on the USB-C bandwagon with their laptops, but their iPhones and iPads still use that stupid Lightning connector. I think it's part of a strategy to keep people within their ecosystem. And they love to sell overpriced Apple branded dongles.
...They did/do: no external connectors at all! wireless phone, Bluetooth, wireless charging, no 3.5mm headphone jack, etc.
