USB-C is the industry standard for the connector, it is the future as it's already gaining widespread support across the entire industry. There is zero doubt about it, everyone will be switching to USB-C in the next few years.
The best part about USB-C is Alt Mode support, it allows you to use any protocols you want as long as it is supported on both sides. In this case with Macs, the TB3-enabled USB-C ports mean you can use Thunderbolt 3 without changing the connector port and not lose other protocols like USB 3.1 Get 2 (10Gbps), Power Delivery, etc.
By saying future proof, what they meant is that any future products using USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps), Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) and/or power-delivery up to 80-100W will be supported on these MBPs.
