Oh hell no!
I'm a big usb-c fan, because it has a lot of advantages over usb-a like more data speed and power throughput.
But usb-a also has advantages over usb-c: much stronger connector and much cheaper.
For things like a mouse and keyboard, the advantages of usb-c are worthless, but the advantages of usb-a are not.
still doesn't make sense , the USB-C supports USB-A on both sides so if one breaks a simple flip would solve it as for physical strength , how ,much weight are you putting on there ? I only support USB-A connector because I got older tech and refuse to replace been mine for 20+ years and still usable and I'm used to it
I like to mountaineer with my usb cables.
I have IOT control devices in my night trailer , the USB cables serve double proposes as they provide physical towing as well as data connection for streaming porn for my dudes in the back
