I still don't think USB-C is a viable replacement for USB-A for lots of uses, it's just so fragile. I have so many messed up usb c things and I can't remember ever damaging a usb a connector in a way that mattered.

The cables are more fragile on USB C in order to save the ports. The opposite was true for USB A. Basically if something hits an A connector the cable was sturdy enough to transfer the force to the port and damage it. With C you just have to replace the cable.

That makes sense in theory, but as with the cables, I've seen way more damaged usb c ports than usb a ports. In fact I can't really think of any time I've ever seen a usb a port damaged to a point it didn't work

Are you sure? Because I have a couple of older phones that were USB-C and their port was the first thing to fail...

I can’t speak to every manufacturer but that is part of the logic of the redesign i remember reading about.
