Not really, you're perfectly free to put USB-C ports in and you can use your standardised dongles if you want. Or mix and match.

I can't imagine what other existing form factor would have been suitable and more useful than them just creating their own and open sourcing the design.

it would have been interesting if they had reused the physical pcmcia form factor for it, just changing the pins for a usb-c port
