"The USB Type-C interface yet has to become as ubiquitous as USB Type-A, but as there are laptops that only have USB-C ports, a number of manufacturers already produce flash cards with dual (or even triple) interfaces. Silicon Power appears to be the first maker to produce a microSD card reader that has two interfaces and therefore supporting a host of various devices. In addition, the company is prepping several USB-C peripherals, such as dongles and docks."
USB-C maybe not making lead way in desktop which in my opinion appears to behind in latest technology - but mobile laptops, tablets and even phones now - is becoming standard - I would even believe Apple which loves to use their own technology will be adapting it.
On the microSD with dual ports - there are other options
1. Vanja has one that supports USB-c, USB-A and even Micro USB - cost less than $10 but is very fragile - but good company they mail me a replacement.
2. Anker has one which is more expensive - but with unibody construction. Problem is that it out of stock on Amazon.
As for USB C docks - I think power delivery has mess this is up- ideal dock need hardware switch on dock to disable power delivery - it especially difficult with higher power notebooks and also with in tablet based on Atom chip - docks seem work best on Intel Y series CPU's
There's a million other options for those little micro SD readers with type C + A connectors, they aren't exactly new. I bought a WEme branded one when I bought my original Pixel well over a year ago, has like 400 reviews on Amazon. Nekteck is selling an identical one... I'm not seeing Anker's on their site or Amazon tho.
When somebody will make a USB-C REAL noise-cancelling headset? It is either Bluetooth you have to charge all the time, or regular 3.5mm which you have to charge or change batteries for noise-cancelling to work, or fake "noise-cancelling" which barely works even for <100Hz and does not even have mics in the earpieces...
