Yes, if you already have a working design that uses USB-A and you don't want to mess around with the manufacturing process.
Also three are a log of people out there with no USB-C ports on their machine or existing USB-C chargers so you end up needing to provide at least an A->C adaptor (OK, these aren't expensive, but it costs >$0 to include one) or if your device charges too slowly off non-PD ports then you need to provide a wall-wart where you otherwise might get away with being cheap and not.
Furthermore, I know some people who are actively avoiding USB-C (seems odd, but true) as they already have a pile of devices/wallwarts/batteries/cables that are based on the older connectors.
