In practice plenty of things are being sold with Micro or in some cases even Mini. Bicycle headlights are an example. You could be spending $150+ and still have very few options for a USB-C headlight.

While true, that is not an answer to my question. C has a lot more going for it on the longevity front.

On the other hand USB-A has been going strong since 1996, just shy of 27 years now.
