It's also important to permit use of adapters for backwards compatibility. Like, if we stop having computers with A ports, there are still gonna be some very expensive devices out there that have A ports. You aren't going to throw out your electron microscope with a USB A port because the USB guys have decided that USB-C being reversible is cool.

Oh totally. I have a pile of RS-232 adapters that you still need to program just about every modern Ethernet switch, and they're all type-A ports.
