Any USB-C ports on my laptops go unused, so I exclusively buy devices with min. 3 USB-A ports. All of my peripherals and cables are USB-A, and it's so much easier to tinker with USB-A ports due to the smaller amount of pins (easy to jam in multimeter probes etc)

Same for me, in most cases. I had a work laptop with a USB-C dock. I've got a USB-C ethernet adapter (not used right now, because my laptop has an ethernet port). I've got a couple of USB-C charging cables. Oh, and a DAC dongle that I typically use with my phone.

Then I've got dozens of charging cables, peripherals, storage devices, and such that I've collected across the past 25 or so years, and still want to use.
