At least with a desktop space isn't a concern, and adapters from A to C are tiny.

Or you can add a card.

Unlike on a laptop.

I mean I need a hub for my Mac mini and it had USB A ports. I’d personally much rather them give me more multi function USB C and just get a different hub than have half the ports be single function USB A

This is a Mac Mini, you can't add or upgrade shit. Can't upgrade RAM, can't change storage and you certainly can't "add a card" as all those things go against the "Apple Vision" after all.

Frankly, I don't consider a Mac Mini to be a desktop at all without any of those abilities
