They had actually moved even before that with 5X and 6P. They were some of the first phones to do it. I believe a few samsung and other phones have already switched too.
In my opinion, that's courage that actually matters. USB-C is a huge step forward which everyone will benefit from once we all move. Removing the audio jack? meh.

Most new-ish Android phones (as counted by number of models) are likely already coming with USB-C. Both the Pixels, the Nexus 5X and 6P before them, the LG v20, the Moto Z, all come with USB-C. As far as I'm aware, only Samsung hasn't made the jump yet.

Within 24 months, most Android phones will ship with USB-C.
That's over a billion devices a year.

USB-C is the future. I'm really not sure why PC vendors having put a couple of all of their desktops and laptops. Many will probably offer both A and C, for at least a few years.
If you have buy a new computer with 0 USB-C ports, you're going to regret it in a few years.
