Would USB-A fit in a macbook? No way for the air right?

I mean, Apple gets to decide how thick the laptop is, so they could make it work if they wanted to. Didn't the original Macbook Air have a USB-A port?

Also, HDMI ports are approximately the same height as USB Type-A ports, so presumably it would fit in this design.

I am happy if USB-A dies.

For me C can die. Having multiple specs on one plug and various cables that all behave differently is ridiculous.
