Besides the obvious reasons (it’s smaller than usb and can work both angles of insertion unlike micro-usb), why is usb-c considered superior? I understand it’s more able to handle fast charging and better data transfer, but what are the mechanics behind that?

It’s better because it doesn’t use a latching mechanism for one to secure the cable. That was the number one killer of ports on devices that used them, it was a terrible design.
Next there’s the bandwidth and power capabilities, a new spec can dictate standards that can be added, ergo higher charge rates with device and charger negotiation was born.
Best of all, do finally a reversible plug. Can go in any orientation and if it’s USB-C on both ends, either end works (there are those novelty cables where it does but those aren’t following spec).
