Super easy to install. I had two defective units (anti-tamper failed closed) but they replaced no questions asked.
Just installed these! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FREZ8VE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Is this what you're looking for?
I think wall outlets with integrated USB are a bad idea. The electric plug and socket has been standard for a long time and won't change any time soon. USB is a frequently-changing standard and the connectors do not last as long as electric sockets. Instead of powering off the circuit breaker to update to a new USB standard, simply unplug the AC adapter and plug a new one in.
Question: If I was interested in a wall receptacle, would something like this be a good purchase? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FREZ8VE
Hmmm yes, lame. My outlet looks like this https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01FREZ8VE hopefully that like doesn't change

Yes, they're new, and they're expensive: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FREZ8VE
Edit: I have not used, nor endorse this product. Use at own risk. The reviews show some worrying information, such as the type C port is not actually UL listed, and under resistive load shows dangerous temperatures.

Yes, it is.
Firstly, it is not "like saying that micro USB replaced usb A". USB A was always the intended host-side port with micro USB being one of many device-side ports. USB C is the host and device side port.
But as USB ports in the wall are intended for charging, the much more important difference is in the charging standards supported. The USB C connector included a real charging standard not supported with USB A connectors. One can, of course, trickle-charge a USB C device from a USB A port with the appropriate adapter. But devices intended to charge via a USB C port do not ship with the old style wall wart with a USB A port. It is USB C on both ends of the cable. Because USB C is meant to replace USB A.
EDIT: TL;DR: I think you are giving poor advice because you don't know what you are talking about. If I were installing USB wall outlets I my house I would not install anything without a USB C connector. And manufacturers are making them with both because USB A is not a substitute for USB C.
