I work in retail, and I sell adapters. That people continue to pop in on a regular basis trying to adapt their FW400 and 800 audio interfaces and external drives to Thunderbolt 3 tells me what I need to know. And, while VGA is not built into much any longer it is still a thing with legacy monitors, a fact that has cropped up over the last year as people try to resurrect any electronic anything to get their home office/school working.

Thunderbolt 1 was not in wide use, until it was Thunderbolt 2. The adapters are the same, which is why I lumped them together.

Are you interpreting my list based on what you can currently buy, or what people have lying around? Those two things are not the same.
