The vast majority of keyboards and mice are USB-A, so you want at least two USB-A ports for those.
Even Apple recognizes this, which is why the desktop Mac's still have a couple of USB-A ports.
(And most of the rest are Bluetooth, not USB-C!)
USB-C has its merits, but I think they are bigger on mobile devices where you only have a limited number of ports and they have to serve multiple roles. On a desktop, it's certainly nice to have a couple of USB-C ports, especially if they're USB4, but you also have dedicated ports for video, audio, etc, so the versatility isn't quite as valuable.
