It is not a difference in mind sets.

Those "non technical people" want the same thing that the "tech heads" want: One type of cable that is compatible with all their devices. They just don't necessarily realize that they have already organized their lives in a way that excludes mismatched cables.

I would be just as happy to have everything switch to lightning. I really don't care what it is I just want all my cables to be the same.
