For PCB design it is a no brainer. There are a lot more headaches to deal with when it comes to USB-C. Like I would never use USB-C in a hobby project. It is way more pins than I need. I am not an idiot that has trouble orienting a cable, and the USB-C pin pitch is garbage narrow. Even at the cheap PCB houses from Asia the pin pitch of USB-C costs a lot more than their base rate specifications. Plus you have the stupid headache of soldering pins to both sides of a board. USB-C makes a massive headache for PCB design and no advantage for a competent user. The tiny power pins also make high current delivery a pain in the ass.
