My current type C devices which are anything where I need higher data transfer rate. Anything above 10gbps or USB 3.2 Gen 2 is usually type C. Anything beyond 20 gbps will be only type C.
External SSDs. My Samsung T7 Gets me a speed of 1000 MB/s which is not possible on wrong USB A port.
My UHS II card reader. I prefer to use type C.
My thunderbolt dock. What is type C only.
My capture card which can do 4 cameras with audio.
My wireless audio receiver is type C only
I can connect via type A but that just means slower speed. I would not buy a motherboard if it doesn’t have a type C port.
Additionally motherboard type C ports usually have the highest power delivery. Usually 15 watts is the bare minimum for a type C port. So if you want to charge your phone a type C port would be the fastest. If all you connect is lower speed devices like mouse and KB then yeah its probably useless to you.
