Unlike you, most of the population does not own a 12 MB , so the USB-C is useless to them. Standard USB in Apple idevices is fine for a few more years, not everyone who buys an iDevice owns a Mac .
You do realize numerous other brands have moved from USB-A to USB-C in their laptops too, right?
Within a year I bet all laptops will come with USB-C. I'll bet some brands will maintain a model or two in their line with USB-A, but for the most part there's no logic to sticking with an old technology.
It's like when USB 3.0 came out, people said oh it'll take forever to catch on...the moment that Dell and HP added it to their line, it went standard and finding laptops with 2.0 became difficult (unless you walked into the Apple Store)...
Apple's trained us to accept being the last to move to new industry standards, so people are naturally afraid it's not going to take off because usually it's everywhere before Apple. Then again people are also using examples like Firewire and Thunderbolt as past decisions made by Apple to go with technologies that never really take off as a standard. USB-C is not Firewire nor Thunderbolt.
