To be fair, if you need these ports, it is easy to get a hub that provides them: https://www.amazon.com/HyperDrive-Through-Charging-MacBook-Chromebook/dp/B01BUH

And over the next several years, it is likely that people will switch to USB-C peripherals.

Sorry, I'd rather have this integrated into the 3000$ dollar device. Maybe they can make it 2mm thicker without increasing weight - oh and then also, maybe we get the key travel back.

I'm completely out of the loop here. Why would peripheral makers choose USB-C over USB 3?

  USB-C and USB-3 aren't mutually exclusive. One describes the shape (Type-A, Type-C) of the connector. The other describes the speeds supported by the port (USB2, USB3, USB3.1).

  Bidirectional power, reversible cables, ability to add extra modes (eg. Thunderbolt 3) to the same port with USB 3 fallback.

You mean the same way that everybody switched to DisplayPort and dumped HDMI? Wait, no, that didn't happen. Every mac user needs to carry around another dongle instead to convert.
