I understood the point the article was trying to make here, but, actually, it's become almost a nightmare to find a Micro USB cable in my home, so I had to answer "yes".
Every time one breaks or gets tatty I bin it and don't replace, because, really, the only thing I need it for is my PS4 controller and the baby monitor. I've burned through a decade or so worth of them thrown in boxes and drawers.
It gets really hard these days to find one when I need to charge my PS4 controller and the baby monitor needs charging at the same time.
While I'm on the go, I guarantee I don't have one. Phone, wife's phone, Switch, tablet, power bank, laptop, earbuds, all USB-C charging. It's taking me some time and careful purchasing choices to get to the point where I can carry a single power brick to fast charge all the devices I carry with one connector/cable, adding Micro USB back in would actually be an inconvenience.
