    If I understand how USB Super Speed (ie USB 3.0+) works correctly, it is trivial to limit a USB C port to USB 2.0 modes, as it uses extra connections, which, I think, means you can just not connect them and treat the port like its a USB 1.x/2.x port. Not 100% sure tho

      You’re entirelly correct - if only the D+ and D-data lines (plus VCC and GND) are connected (and USB-C is meant to work no matter which way you plug it so there are one of each on each side) then it will just behave as USB 2.0
