I had a USB-A from sandisk which was very solid and I used it for years. It wasn't flush with the body of the laptop, but was rounded and strong.

This looks super flimsy and like it might break off easily and ruin your port.

Yeah, that's one thing we lost with USB-C. The USB-A port was big enough for a whole system (storage device, wireless chip, security processor) to fit inside. With type C we're back to dongles hanging out.
