I'm not an engineer but a lot of people here aren't engineers. My laptop, USB C. charges and runs peripherals like a happy little clam. The laptop has two USB C ports but you can also attach a port expander--or whatever it's called--to get more or different ports.
Specifically, I sometimes run my laptop with the charger connected and an external trackpad and I've played with an external mouse.
I want USB C on Paperwhite 5 or an explanation for why it's not possible or advisable. Perhaps Amazon has a warehouse full of USB micro cables and wants to sustain the market till they're gone. Who knows?
