There's a lot of Apple hate here. It's worth remembering that 1) Apple was the first PC company to standardise on USB-A, and 2) Apple iPhone and iPad chargers have always had USB-A sockets until the recent change to USB-C — the chargers have always used non-proprietary sockets; only the cables were different. (Some of The early iPod chargers had a Firewire 400 socket.)
