they should make it big as A, and reversible as C,

why do I have to think of solutions so obvious?

You’re a genius.

Of course, no one wants a big connector in their cell phone, so we’ll have to make a mini C. And then a micro C. And then they’ll make USB D to try to simplify all of these competing standards.

That said the form factor of type C is a little too small to be wieldy to me.

Those exist[1]. I reckon connector size is an issue on smaller devices, but there's no reason why USB-C couldn't be improved to make the connection more secure.

And this will help also with power delivery. As an EE, putting 100W in such a small connector gives me shivers.
