USB Hub with USB-A male input, will it damage my computer?

I bought this hub from temu.com recently and I actually really like it. I can leave it clamped on my desk with all my peripherals plugged in, and then just connect 1 wire when I need them. It doesnt float around my desk, and also gives an additional USB-C (which for some reason so few hubs do). What I am worried about is that it uses USB-A in , which seems to be a non-standard way of doing things, and potentially harmful. So here is what I want to know. Is that still true with the USB 3.0 standard? (the inside is blue and the read/writes speeds seem to be faster than USB 2.0). Would it help at
