Power Supply Design Flaw

With micro-USB cables are pretty much everywhere that you can borrow.

Because micro-USB  cables vary greatly  in quality. Some are unable to carry sufficient current to actually make it viable for charging. People don't know the difference which is a cause of problems and complaining on the forums. A barrel jack does away with this particular problem ... 

See some of the early Pine64 threads with topics such as 'why doesn't it boot?' and 'it doesn't work': Id say that 75% of those topics stem from inadequate PSUs (people trying to power the board from a phone charger) or inadequate cables.
You can find me on IRC, Discord and Twitter
