whats wrong with usb-a? I feels more sturdy and less likely to have connection issues then usb-c in my experience.

The person (committee?) who came up with USB A needs sanctions. And Apple Needs more, for putting power buttons and key ports at that back.
Which rear facing "key port" on a Mac are you suggesting should be on the front?
USB.
I used iMacs, mini and pro machines. Any ports in the front would be nice.
My m4 mini does have some front ports. It’s less of an issue now with usb-c but the iMac presumably still rear mounts them.
Is the side to fill up evenly balanced between cars in average? I imagine there is value to make it close to 50/50 to simplify the logistics at the gas station. I was thinking car manufacturers perhaps had agreed so that some brands do it one way and some do it another
2020s UX "experts" would bury the entire instrument cluster under a hamburger menu if they could get away with it. The fuel gauge would be moved three menus deep and thus impossible to find, then removed in subsequent model years when their telemetry data "proved" no one used it anymore.
In the end, these engineers' job is make profit for the company. If the customer allows for all this crap, and still buys cars/fridges/tvs with such horrible UX, then it's the way forward.
You imply they ever had a choice.
Companies like Tesla and Rivian pioneered the trend of bringing webshit-as-an-instrument cluster to the mainstream. Other car companies saw dollar signs, rode their coattails and immediately copied it.
What is a customer supposed to do? Buy a Mitsubishi Mirage? Build their own instrument cluster?

It's very weird that USB-C solved the problem of "we can't tell which way to insert the plug" by mandating that both orientations should work, as opposed to just making the exterior of the plug as asymmetrical as the interior.
