How long before all peripherals and cables are USB-C?

I had to stream some video to a TV a while ago. Wife's computer didn't have HDMI or video port. Another laptop had USB and Thunderbolt but no HDMI. I dug through my bins but couldn't find an adapter. My laptop had HDMI so we had to use that, which was irritating since I had to finish some work using it at the same time.

This story gets repeated frequently. There are too many damn port types. USB-A, micro USB, mini USB, printer USB, DisplayPort, video, HDMI, Ethernet, Lightning, Thunderbolt, etc.

Apple seems to be going to only USB-C ports on laptops. This seems really irritating in some ways, but if or when everything goes USB-C, life will be so much easier.
