Not to mention the difference in maximum amperage between A and C could be an entirely different set of headaches.
USB-A is vastly more universal, even in 2022.
Agree USB-A is more universal.
USB-C is not just a max amperage issue, it can also supply different voltages. There is a handshake between the power controller and the device to determine the voltage and current to be supplied. This makes the USC-C port electronics much more complicated.
