I'm still on the Ryzen 5xxx platform and there aren't a lot of motherboards that have USB-C either unless you go high end like the ASRock Taichi.
Definitely need the ports though given how ubiquitous USB-C is nowadays.

Article is two years old. I wonder if it’s still relevant, especially after the EU standardization change
Had the same feeling a year and a half ago, I was thinking that maybe as I was not on a next gen CPU I was just on an older model and that's why it was not very present. I only have one usb-c on my motherboard B550M Micro ATX
Btw, why is full ATX / full-size PC still that common, mATX / ITX almost rare? Only techy users or gamers add maybe a 4x ethernet card or a GPU and that's it; one PCIex16 slot would suffice. Better sound cards, wifi etc, are now almost always USB/-C or Bluetooth, if not already on the board.
Why is the time of slim-size desktop PCs still not there?

You could at the same time ask: "Why are motherboards no longer made for 486DX?". The answer is simple: Time and technology moves on, and USB-A is old.
