USB type A male to type C female

zed

Legend
I just had a look at the store I normally buy stuff from for USB adapters

1. type C male -> type A female 21 different models from various companies
yet the reverse
2. type C female -> type A male, not a single one!

Sure I can see #1 usage case being more popular, but why the complete lack of having the reverse?

Does this qualify?

The top review there had a lengthy post taking issue with it. Here's a small snip.
"USB Type-C receptacle to USB legacy adapters are explicitly not defined or allowed. Such adapters would allow many invalid and potentially unsafe cable connections to be constructed by users."
