USB Type C is standard and far more powerful than Types A or B. The ecosystem is still maturing, and I hope this drives it forward as Apple's switching to Type A on the iMac did so 15 or so years ago.

USB was already a lot of software (and hardware) complexity just to attach a low speed peripheral like a mouse or a keyboard.
Switching power delivery over to USB-C has meant the elimination of MagSafe connectors.
Replacing fixed solutions like Ethernet is a step back to AAUI/AUI and MAC dongles, except now, you have to put the entire ethernet controller and a USB or TBolt controller in an external dongle.
