    Why can’t we just use more robust connectors (xt60 for example)? Or higher voltages? Trying to send low voltage, high current through a bunch of tiny connectors and hoping none of them melt seems silly. Is it just because no one wants to challenge the standard?

      standards exist for backwards compatibility, it would be pretty annoying to not be able to use a new GPU with my decade old PSU and passive adapters.
