In two years they will have micro-USB-C.
the reasons we decided against usb c are a) the device would have to be thicker, b) our industrial designer didn't like how it would look, and most importantly; c) I still have a hard time finding usb c cables. I always have to bring my own.

As for point C: I fully believe that the opposite will be the case in three years time. Just feels a bit... shortsighted. I mean, even Nintendo is going for USB-C in their upcoming device (and even Apple, in their own hamfisted way :P )
That said, and it might be nitpicky of me, but the choice of micro-USB for charging is a real annoyance. This is a premium device at a premium price point which I'm expecting to keep for many years. USB-C for portable devices is something that I'm considering a must-have at this point. Will probably wait for the first hardware revision.
