Well going thru this technical jargon, am thinking aloud about someone
(don’t look at me; am not a hardware/software person) developing some special cable such as
edl_fastboot/deep flash cable used for flashing xiaomi mobiles or a
podbreakout used in debugging iOS devices, that would look much more practical and can probably be used by all including us noobs/dummies without getting paranoid about tech.
ps: please don't fry me, this may look like comparing oranges and apples, but this is a shower thought
