It's a trade-off that I'll take for having an industry standard power supply and a replaceable cable. Used to be if your power cord frayed at either the MagSafe end or the brick end you were out $80 for a replacement.
Now you can buy a 60W USB-C power delivery brick with 3 bonus USB-A charging ports for $25 and if your cable ever goes bad it's a cheap replacement from Anker or similar. And I doubt you'll ever need to replace that cable because Anker is apparently better at making them than Apple ever was.
I have one of these under my desk with cords for charging my laptop and phone/tablet: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=24425 https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=24425 Monoprice has frequent sales for even cheaper.
