You haven't seen enough, then.

Being a member of the USBIF, I can assure you that USB 3 is a hot mess rivaled only by USB-C which is only a port and not a protocol. Many cables and PC's ports do not support backward compatibility to USB 2/1.1.

It's a big enough issue that you can buy USB Printer cables in all configurations. These support USB 2/1.1 only and are recommended by Yamaha and others for their audio/MIDI interfaces.
