My PC and a lot of Samsung phones have them too, as does my Samsung SSD. I thought the point of USB-C was that it was to become a universal connector.
USB-C is the newest form of USB and is a global standard. However the world still doesn't exclusively use USB C, nor are the ports backward compatible with earlier plugs. So the majority of passengers would be disappointed by this change.

The earlier suggested idea of having one USB C socket and a USB A socket as well is a good one. Just not exclusively USB C as the world isn't ready for it.
