Looks like all the USB-A devices purchased over the past 30 years have not been trashed and some people still use them.

Understandable but I would have preferred a couple of fully functional USB-C ports and then have people use dongles for using old hardware on this board. Similar to using a serial adapter.

There are still new USB-A devices being sold, it's not like it's deprecated or something

That is now illegal in the European Union. Everything sold is required to have USB-C.

> From 28 December 2024, the rules apply to mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, headphones, headsets, videogame consoles, portable speakers, e-readers, keyboards, mice, portable navigation systems and earbuds sold in the EU. From 28 April 2026, they will also apply to laptops.

		You’re not allowed to sell keyboard and mice with USB-A port? Doubt it. Can you link the source you’re quoting? Edit: It’s this right? https://commission.europa.eu/news-and-media/news/eu-common-c... That’s only for battery powered devices afaik.
