What advantage does a A-port have over the current micro ports in a tablet? And now the new C port is slowly gaining more support, I bet the A-port will slowly vanish completely, or am I missing something here?

USB-A port = no fiddly adapters etc.

Counter-intuitively, those big fat USB-A sockets have a much lower minimum-cycle specification compared to Micro-B or USB-C ( 1500, 5000 and 10000 respectively ).

So the tiny, fiddly ports are more robust.

Don't worry, i'm sure folks would have also complained had they stuck with those ports and they broke.
