Until you find out that a usbc plug fits inside a usba port and you can mix them up when reaching around your computer.
Did this (on purpose) to HP laptops we were discarding at work (Elitebook G5) and you kill the entire USB-A part of the machine.
10/10 would HP again
My cheap AM3 motherboard doesn’t cares about USB short circuts. So it’s HP’s deliberate miscalculation.

It is definitely HP just being HP.
Other non HP machines we have are just fine if you shirt the USB-A ports
