Maybe in the ideal world :D
Have you heard of the IBM PC?
Yes, but relevant ?

Many people come on here with power supply problems, 3rd party products not doing what's expected etc etc
The relevance is that IBM opened the spec of the PC, therefore hundreds of products could be designed that could plug right in. The PC itself was replaceable with a clone.

My point is that it is not necessary to use "official" parts. Vanilla parts should work just as well, and telling people that they need official parts is unhelpful because it is done without performing any kind of diagnosis.

I posted my message because a suggestion was made that there should be an "official full sized to mini cable for older Pis", implying that a COTS mini HDMI cable was not suitable.
