Why use more words when less is easier.

Fewer. Sorry, pet peeve of mine. If you can count the thing, it's fewer, not less.

The superiority of german aryan ports proven once again.

I've never seen the one enclosed in a battery, but I've seen the rest.

Honestly, I didn't really have an issue with USB type A ports. They worked fine, and it was only a minor inconvenience to orient them the right way. I cared far more about capabilities of the port (speed, power delivery, etc) than I did about the actual port.

That said, micro-USB sucks in every way. The awkward "is this the right way?" thing is way worse than with USB-A, it's not meaningfully smaller than mini-USB, the port is incredibly hard to clean (and it always gets dirty), and the connector seems to break all the time. I would've been totally fine with moving everything to mini-USB instead. The connector was less flimsy without being that much bigger, and it had room for more wires.

I do like USB-C though, I'm just not sure the added complexity is worth it.
