You'd think they wouldn't be allowed to use USB unless they met the standard's compatibility requirements (which I'm presuming exist, but don't really know for a fact). If the USB standards body allows this type of bastardization of their work, then we're going to eventually wind up right back to where we were before: a ton of differing connection standards making life a PITA for everybody.
