I'm not quite sure what the complaint here is? USB is a standard, and the problem was that we didn't have the standard installed. The fact you've got a slightly different version of the standard is a simple problem to solve by owning a cheap cable.
In fact it's literally the same as having USB-C on both ends, since it's still only the one cable. A to C, or C to C, it makes no difference
USB A to C is pretty standard
Still better having new universal standards come out over time (as requirements exceed the capabilities of the previous standards) than having a different one for each company or device.
I remember buying a Nokia phone and finding out that used a different cable to my earlier Nokia phone.
I have a piece of furniture with a snap in power station and it probably has USB 1.0 ports on it. I don't care how cool the tech is, if you're trying to incorporate it into a long lasting product like furniture, it really needs to be a standard module that is easy to upgrade. Mine snaps out but I have no idea if an updated version exists anywhere because there's no standardization and this furniture company doesn't show anything on their website.
I enjoy the A to C converter on the side that you didn't explicitly call out. Nice easter egg :D
Haha. That wasn't on purpose, I swear! It's also connected to the even-more-unique C to Micro converter. I actually needed to dig out my USB mini cable the other day.

I'd prefer non-corporate internationally approved standards over modularity. We were able to do it with CAT/ITU ..
Non-corporate internationally approved standards... For furniture inserts?
I never used any public ports. Reality is if i have a cable with me, I'm just as likely to have a power bank, and it charges my phone faster. It also gives me more freedom of movement as I don't have to be wired to a wall.
