It's not a huge deal, but it's still a very strange choice on a product released in 2024.

Pretty much everyone has a USB-C cable lying around on their desk because they use it to charge their smartphone. I probably have a Micro-B cable lying around in a big box of cables somewhere, last used several years ago. Even cheap Chinese garbage comes with USB-C these days.

Sure, Micro-B is technically just fine, but why did Raspberry Pi go out of their way to make their latest product more cumbersome to use?
