It could have something to do with the European law that says all new devices must have USB-C, and only USB-C, charging ports by 2026. You may not be able to easily find a replacement micro-USB cable after that, should your existing one go bad.

This is a case of government meddling in places where they don't belong. Ten years from now, when USB-C is old school and has been replaced by better technology, Europe will still be stuck with it because of their ill-advised new law. There are not a whole lot of things dumber than politicians mandating technology.
