Yes, why use the old micro-usb port? Now I would need a separate cable just to charge this.

I don't disagree, I've wanted to switch to usb-c for a while. Several reasons. It was designed with Micro-USB 8 years ago, would have to make new molds for the new connector. (approx $20k) USB-C would fit but just barely because it is thicker. Connectors are more expensive and cables are more expensive. It includes a Micro-USB cable so we got you covered there. Bluetooth and wireless charging, and you wouldn't even need ports :)
