I’m surprised to see those legacy USB ports on a board where space savings is important. Do they do it for backwards compatibility with older cases and housings?

And am I correct to see that the USB-C only does power? How do you connect your pheripherals to this board?

I think legacy USB peripherals are very common. Almost all of my peripherals are legacy USB; I think I only own a single USB-C peripheral. Old stuff still works, so I don't need to buy new ones.

Looks like all the USB-A devices purchased over the past 30 years have not been trashed and some people still use them.
