The USB logos are trademarked so can be protected in this way. There is no trademark protection on the accronym USB so there is nothing stopping anybody using the term USB regardless of the orientation of the connector. The othe question arises, what happens if the connector is vertical?

Having read this thread, however, I must now agree with him

I've come to learn that despite most people being frustrated at not being able to plug a USB cable in correctly the first time around, it's actually very easy to tell which way it should go in as the logo is always printed/embossed/engraved on the 'top' of the male end of the cable.

I have to admit that on our A380 flight back to LHR having drank all of the pairing wines with the tasting menu I couldn't even find the USB slot

Sounds like someone has their priorities right. Is there a thread on the tasting menu? I have my first A380 flight next year and would like to find out a bit more about it.

It's the same in all modern WT/WT+ cabins I've flown in too, I've always noticed it and it's kind of frustrated me
*Disclaimer: I wasn't really. But am still surprised BA managed to get such a minor detail wrong.
