Have a USB computer but a parallel printer? Converter. Have a VGA display but a DVI notebook? Converter. Have an HDMI port but a DVI display? Converter.
My monitor and TV (Dell UltraSharp and Samsung respectively) each have a bazillion types of inputs. Except USB C, of course. The laptop's only job is to have one standard one. It's going to be a while before USB C to X cables are 'standard.'
Parallel printer? That, on the other hand, is relegated to the dustbins of history long ago.
Apple's defenders are painting skeptics as a bunch of Luddites. I can see the argument for USB-C, fine. Two items will be here forever, though: tiny, innocently thin card readers for people who do photos+video, ethernet port for just about anyone who sits in an office. I don't know about you, but I'm sitting at the same desk all day, I choose my Ethernet connection over the wifi one all day, every day. (Well, M-F).
