Are there any fields, where USB A surpasses USB C, or is C an absolute upgrade?

I had a project that used usb-c along with the appropriate resistors for usb-PD and while soldering the resistors would have been doable, for the port I caved in and got it assembled for me.

Amphenol has a through-hole, MUSBRM5C130, that isn't bad at all to solder, but it's not cheap at all. Assembly might be cheaper. (Panel mount)

My entire project was smaller than that panel mount connector since my project was adding usb-c to my 3DS. Every millimeter counted.
