I bet if Apple didn’t take the leap to a USB-C only laptop design most laptops from other manufacturers would still be USB-A only.

Most peripherals still use USB-A though, so I've never seen the advantage of having a USB-C port on my laptop. I never use it. I guess I could connect my phone, but that seems rather pointless. (Most of the charging bricks I own still have USB-A too, and I have way too many to go buy another one. It was cheaper just to buy a new cable for me phone.)

USB-C is great for external monitor connections from laptops.

Is it better than HDMI? That's what I typically use now. (Display port on my desktop PC.)

It's nicer for laptops because you can have power, display, and internet in one cable going to a dock. TBH I don't see many benefits for desktops. You could daisy chain monitors and have less cables I guess.
