No reason to throw them out (no one is suggesting that you do that).
USB-C is the current standard. That's enough to have new devices use it.
It doesn't matter too much that
you aren't going to get much benefit from the change.
I suspect more people would prefer USB-C. The people who don't are going to have to deal with the change anyway (if they buy any new device). Manufacturers aren't going to make two devices (with different connectors).
