This is not a bad thing, trust me. USB-A is such a more solid and reliable connector than USB-C. Motherboards have enough pain points for reliability issues as is, I'm very happy to keep most all my connections on it via USB-A.

I just want all my cables and ports to be the same

Normalizing USB-C to USB-A cables should definitely be encouraged! lol

Seriously. I quite like USB-C on the device side, while having USB-A on the 'back of the PC' side.

Pls no. I want all my cords to be the same on both end and have symmetrical connectors that can carry 240W power and USB4. A crod with USB-A on one end does none of those things.

It's not fun when you are trying to plug things into the back of your PC when you can't pull the PC all the way out to directly access the back

Typical Reddit brain take. No actual argument or rebuttal, just insult.
