USB-A has limitations that USB-C doesn't have. It's not simply a difference in the size of the plug. It's also almost 30 year-old technology.
If the car makers kept putting USB-A connectors in their vehicles, they'd be locking their buyers into mid-90s tech for as long as they own the vehicle. People upgrade their phones a lot more frequently than they upgrade their cars (well, most people). They probably thought it was better to put the latest tech in their vehicles even though it might require a few people with older phones to buy a new cable than to put in old tech that will limit what everyone can do for as long as they own the car.
