A common habit is saving old cables and adapters “just in case,” even when they seem obsolete. During a personal minimization effort, only a small portion of cords and dongles is kept because some remain important or may still be needed. Obsolete items can still work for specific device requirements. USB-A-to-USB-C cables are one example, since many devices with USB-C ports may not charge when connected using a USB-C-to-USB-C cable and USB-C charger. This can happen when the device lacks the circuitry needed to activate the charger. Keeping such cables helps maintain charging and connectivity options despite changing standards.
"USB-A-to-USB-C cables The experts told us that USB-C connectivity would make everything better; one cable and charger for everything. But you'd be surprised how many gadgets with a USB-C port won't charge when a USB-C-to-USB-C cable is attached to a USB-C charger. That issue often occurs because the gadgets lack the circuitry to activate the charger."
