There’s beauty in making a spec that can’t be broken or doesn’t make financial sense to do so.
USB-C has much more complexity and corners that can be cut than USB-A.
The cheapness of USB-A is also valuable. The other day I bought 5 USB-A to B cables for less than 5 bucks for various microcontroller-related hackery. I can treat them as disposable and won’t hesitate to cut one open should I need some kind of shielded multi-core wire.
In USB-C land, a single cable would cost more than that.
