USB-c are more convenient and have a wider range of uses. We should be moving to that for everything.
Actually I was disappointed last year …. After reading for so long that Apple was the last remaining holdout for usb-c, I switched my phone and watch, and have been wondering where everyone else is. Why is it still the minority to find USB-C power strips and chargers and power banks and outlets and random devices? In my case, it means I don’t have a clean switch from Lightning to USB-C but now have to buy legacy cables too
Those of us who never had to buy them now have to for backward compatibility. That especially includes us iPhone people who are new to the party and have to buy both the newer standard and the older. There are a lot of iPhone people.
For anyone, you have to carry double the number of cables. You might find a modern charger or you might find an older one.

How? Since USB-C has been around for so long, A-C cables have been the norm from the start. Everyone has them already. I don’t see the downside.
