    Well, the good news is that it wasn't really popular in 2014. It probably didn't become popular until about 7-8 years ago and that was thanks to smartphones.

    The Nexus 6P had it in 2015. Samsung was one of the last to switch over, and they still did in 2017. I'd say closer to 9 years ago.

    You're right as far as devices go, I was just adding a year or two because most people don't switch phones immediately at release.

    The other side of that is I'm probably a little biased because I was using the weird usb-b 3.0 micro connector (the long ass one) until a couple of years ago on external drives until it got too painful to open up my sample libraries on spinning platters.

    So maybe 9 years ago and my view is colored? Or between 7 and 9 years ago depending on how you're measuring popularity?
