USB-C has more connectors for data and power than A/B so it’s not a surprise that it’s more capable.

What’s really changed is demand. No one really expected USB to be used to power everything, it was only ever really expected to be used on computers and maybe digital cameras, smartphones used to arrange matters for themselves. It was only when they two began to adopt USB that calls for smaller ports started to arise.
