They're still around for "classic" devices, but USB-C includes support
for both ends being the same (so now the cable doesn't care "host" vs.
"device", like most HDMI, DisplayPort, ethernet, classic RS-232 serial,
etc.).  There are even the oddball USB 3.0 USB-B connectors (with the
extra piggyback that won't fit in a regular USB-B port).

They've overloaded the uses of USB-C, and made the USB 3 and 4 specs
confusing and misleading, but the "USB-C everywhere" bit replacing A, B,
extended B, mini B, micro B, and more is a definite improvement.
