Apple almost always requires adaptors or hubs/docks (for laptops) for complex setups because their machines have 2-4 ports instead of 10, regardless of the type. Mostly 2, unless you pay an extra $400. Try to hook up power, video (or 2), keyboard, backup hard drive, SD card, phone/camera/arduino/whatever, Ethernet. USB-C will never be universal. It's too complex/expendive for dumb peripherals.
