USB-C has been out for 10 years and it’s a huge mess. For some devices it makes sense to switch like an external hard drive, but for things like a wired keyboard, I don’t need to repurchase it for USB-C, that serves no purpose.

Nobody's telling you to repurchase.

If the keyboard has the cable attached, you can attach a tiny (and extremely cheap) adapter on the end and just leave it there, and if it's not attached, you can do that or just replace the cable.

Or you could just get one of the many laptops that still have a USB-A port.
