I'm old enough to remember the first wave of outrage when Apple dropped the serial port (and floppy disk!) and started using this weird USB thing that only their devices supported.
What goes around comes around. Don't worry, in a few years you literally won't remember that you thought of USB-C as an "Apple thing". Or at least you won't mention it.
Yes! In fact, the only computer I have without any USB-A ports is my work laptop, which is non-coincidentally, an Apple.
