Note that these are keyboards and not mouses, and they have USB-C sockets rather than permanently attached cables with USB-C plugs. They are also very premium products.

When it comes to the entire ecosystem, a $5 bargain-bin noname OEM keyboard with permanently-attached cable is more representative - and those definitely don't come with USB-C yet. That would probably add a few cents to their BOM, so it simply isn't worth it yet.

To be fair I'd much rather us converge to 'sockets on both ends' now that the plug is the same anyway

Throwing away a perfectly good device because the cable is kaputz exacerbates our e-waste problem
