I'm realizing after my rant that the mfg probably wants every device to have a unique plug so a newb doesn't come along and plug an item into an incompatible power supply.   ....still seems like one for every device is too many.

I'd be hard pressed to find two devices, even from the same manufacturer, that use the same plug.  Molex must make 10 billion varieties.  WHY?

I feel like there should be a standard -48V plug and a +48V plug with keys in different positions, then also an agnostic plug with the keys not present so it slides into either jack (from an isolated power supply).

Make a slightly different set for 24V, 12V, and 5V.
There! see? That's like 12 kinds of green power plugs, not eleventy thousand and one.
