My thought is, that it is at least misleading advertising. Most normal people seeing USB or what ever else would take that to mean its usable.
I can just see a PC being advertised as with DVD rewriter ,3 USB ports buy it get it home & they don`t work - why they are disabled. Get real. At the very least don`t advertise them.
Making them part of the sales pitch it I feel is in breach of the sales of goods act. In as much that they are implying that it does what people would expect a USB port to do( & I dont mean a charger & I would guess that is not the answer you would get if you ask people in the street what a USB port does)

PS totally off subject. I personally got TUI ( Tomson Holidays) to change the advertisng in their
Platinum Brochure because of a mis-statement . -First drop off. At least one Hotel was second even if it was only 10 yards away & 5 minutes later. It was second .
