My WH1080 weather station has a USB-A connector on the device side, I assume for the convenience of the slimmer profile.
That's the only natural occurrence of that cable I've ever seen.
The other one was a custom board printed in 2001 at the electronics class, where I was some kind of precursor by powering it with a USB cable rather than a bulky lab power supply. As I did salvage the connector it was a A-A abomination but they had that cable at the supermarket for some reason ¯_(ツ)_/¯
