Isn't this just a matter of re-compiling to 64-bit?

Not always. For example, if there were any assumptions made about the size of an integer, for example that can break things or an assumption was made on how an external function does things, but that function has its own bugs revealed with the change in bitness.

Some other are indicated here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9728250/migrating-from-32-to-64-bit-releases

I imagine one of the challenges with producing a 4 port USB-C charger is what wattage do you support? For example do you go and support 65W per outlet (total of 260W total), or one 65W port with 3 10W ports? Also, doing this while ensuring it is travel friendly, with voltage switching. 

Outside of the power issues, what percentage of the market is USB-C focused. This will be the other deciding factor on how much effort is put into this. The solution proposed by Satechi is one that shows that the era of USB-C is coming, but we aren't quite there yet.

Has apple insider gone mental? This is the worse matchup, one is brand new and one is a whole generation ago. 7th gen cpu vs 8th gen’s latest? When comparing cpu’s This is like putting a 2019 corvette up against a 1999. You can justify this with cost all you want, it is still ludicrous.

Then again, if manufacturer hasn’t done anything to improve the offering during that period, then they may be justified? The question is now how long before Apple addresses this? 

Also, if anyone wants to play games then they may be dual booting their Mac. Knowing the spec gap, may make them question whether sticking with their current favourite OS is the right choice. 

The Apple charger might be more than some knock off brands, but do you really want to trust anything except brands that will back their chargers?

Google seems to have so many messaging platforms it is confusing. Probably best to unify them somehow instead of creating more islands?
