On the rare occasion I plug in a usb flash drive (I assume that's what you mean by "stick") I use the usb-c end. On the even rarer occasion I use it with some device that doesn't have usb-c (this is actually just hypothetical I've never done this in practice) I turn the flash drive around and use the usb-a end.
It's been clear that usb-c is the future for a decade now. How on earth do you still have flash drives that are usb-a only?
I probably use the power button once a month, and I'd say this is the norm for most developers/similar people. It's no harder than accessing the menu button/toggle stick on the back of my dell display.
Sandisk have been making dual-port usb flash drives for years. I see no reason to buy/use any other kind, in the same way I see no reason buy a printer with a parallel port or a mouse with a ps2 plug on it.
If it's really a significant problem, use the benefits of usb and put a hub or usb extension cord on the desk to connect to.
I just cannot fathom how such trivial factors are a problem for people.
