Really hasn't been much of one. I still own devices that charge from MicroUSB, a lot of peripherals are still USB-A, there hasn't been any significant movement by the industry overall to move everything to C, so mostly it means I just need to carry more cables.

Nitpick, there are no devices that charge with an USB-A port. USB-A is the side that supplies power, the side receiving power is USB-B.

USB-C did away with the distinction.

True, but keyboards, mice, wireless adapters etc. haven't moved to C yet. I use PCs and desktop peripherals and industry adoption if USBC has basically stopped 1/4 of the way in.

Not really, can't plug a type a into a c port

I have a flashlight/sd card based mp3 player/bluetooth speaker/FM Radio/backup battery that charges with an A->A cable.

It’s this Product, with a different branding: https://a.co/d/94y3lxc

And how would you describe a wired keyboard or web cam with a hard wired connection to the device and only a USB-A end?

Your nitpick is not warranted. He never said charge with A.
