Dongles have existed long before USB-C (and even A). Pretty much 'a small thingie' that has to be attached to a computer for the latter to carry some specific task. Hence, a card reader fits the dongle definition and it should be part of any laptop... There used be dongles that served copyright protection.

  The nice thing about an SD card slot is that you can leave a microSD adapter inside it 24/7 if that's what your camera uses. Nothing else that's port-sized gets enough use to care about.
