Is an Intel N100 or N150 a better value than a Raspberry Pi?

Is there a reason these mini PCs still have all USB-A ports? That strikes me as a bizarre choice.

How many USB-C keyboard/mice do people have?

Probably for easy mouse & keyboard support? Also, mini PCs are usually used in offices a lot and I bet most places that buy these things still have lots of USB-A storage devices as well.

Also, probably the price of the connector. USB A is also a simple standard and no one will expect to treat it as a display out.
