Speaking as an Apple user - I am heavily invested in their ecosystem - I am extremely happy that Lightning is on death’s door. I fully agree with the EU and I am very grateful to them for forcing Apple’s hand.
That being said, your point about USB-A falls apart when you consider any situation where your vision is even partially obstructed. Such as; back of the computer, back of your monitors, a dock unless you’re holding it, etc etc.
What I’m hoping will happen:
Apple sells only USB-C to USB-C cables
Apple users start requesting more USB-C ports on motherboards / desktop computers
Mouse/Keyboard manufacturers produce USB-C alternatives of their products
Motherboards move even more to USB-C
GOTO 3 until USB-A becomes as legacy as VGA or PS/2
We hopefully never see another single orientation external cable ever again.
