Many in fact do this and it’s just a matter of finding the right cords. Of course this then gives us the issue of facing just how many types of USB we’ve made over the years and how several are needless variations which don’t actually offer anything new from predecessors. Printers are imo notorious for this.

But if these accessories were made with a USB-C connector, then we'd still need an adapter to plug into a USB-A port. So yes, it is the fault of USB-C being a different shape for the computer side of things.
The solution is to make USB-A ports always the same side up and the connectors a different color on the up side.
