As one of those people who loves all the ports, I'll admit that the adapter situation has gotten a bit better. People/offices have adapted to the situation, where it has become standard to have a set of adapters attached to any display cable. And if not, usually someone has an adapter somewhere. I still find it frustrating that the costs of Apple's decision (followed by others) has effectively been subsidized by everyone else though. Then in the lockdown, it has been months since I've found myself in that frustrating situation where I travel to someone else's office or a conference, they only have an HDMI input, I forgot my adapter, and nobody can seem to find someone who has the right adapter. I'm likely in the market for a laptop over the next 6-12 months, and 6 months ago I would have said for sure that my next laptop would have to have HDMI or bust, but now those pain points are definitely not top of mind.
