There are $3 versions of the adapter. Yeah this USB shit is annoying but I bought 10 of each. 2 sets in backpack, 2 in computer bag, 2 in desk and a few permanently attached where they’re used most often.
Annoying but fine. Don’t think about it much.
Edit: YMMV but Macbook is not the only offender. Comes up with random combinations of things because cars, desks, cafes, etc all have a mix of USB A/C charging ports. And so do my various devices. The adapters are useful all the time.
