There is no reason why a USB-C receptacle can't be mounted on an easily-replaceable flex/daughterboard like Apple does it with Lightning.

On the other hand, I can get spare USB-C receptacles from any number of local distributors. I'm not limited to getting an exact matching connector assembly for the specific Apple product that may or may not be out of production.
