Given that the industry is trying to retire USB-A for good, this doesn't seem likely.

USB-A is, in fact, the thing that drove me off of Apple for good.
There is a decent minority of people for whom USB-A eventually stops working and requires a reboot to restore.
The dongle doesn't matter. The dock doesn't matter. The device doesn't matter. Software updates do not fix it. The thread on it is 40+ pages when Apple closes it and then another 40+ page thread on it reappaears.
The problem is an OS problem. I can pinpoint precisely the OS update that caused it. Apple does not care and will not fix it.
Fine, I get it. So I left for Linux and never looked back.
