USB-c hardware is not as simple as the standard USB using the micro-b connector. USB-c is very complex, especially when making it legacy compatible. The firmware must negotiate with whatever is connected to the USB-c device to find out if it allows charging and, at what voltage the device can accept since USB-c can go to up to +20vdc charging, if the device can accept that level for fast charging, or if the device will even allow anything other than +5vdc on the input. USB-c greatly complicates the hardware and firmware. Perhaps Michael will move to USB-c with the next calculator he releases.
