At least they are all physically compatible.

They mostly support an electrical least-common-denominator (like, I have USB devices that won't accept USB PD for charging below a given level), but they definitely aren't all physically-compatible. There are a lot of physical USB connectors.

Thank you, I had almost forgotten that you can't make a comment on the Internet without someone misunderstanding even basic assumptions. Like in this case, a picture exclusively showing usb-c, could be assumed that a comment about it, would also be referring to usb-c.

P.S. (I'm fully aware the last one is usb-a, the writer even makes note of it and why they included it).

There nothing in the comment that you are responding to or OP's original post that is specific to USB-C. OP references USB-A and USB-C both, and the comment you responded to doesn't specify USB-C.
