Probably not, with what the USB-C port and wiring supposedly costs compared to Type A.

USB-C is already 6 years old and every laptop that lacks a USB-A port is a problem because almost nothing you'd want to plug into a laptop uses USB-C, apart from this rare type of flash drive, and of course the obligatory USB-A expansion hub.

Apple users had the fame of carrying dongles around because of this, IIRC.

At least as of early last year, it was still stupidly expensive to manufacture Type C cables compared to Type A. Not sure if they've been able to introduce more automation since then.
