Apple's approach to ports is bad design.
I think they were envisioning a USB-C revolution that hasn't come yet. You can buy new devices or buy adapters, but either way the computer is asking the user to adapt to it. I have a Razer laptop for playing games and they have some USB-C ports and some USB-A. One of the USB-C ports connects to the thunderbolt bus. On paper, the Razer has less connectivity bandwidth, but it's my macbook that I always fuss over.
I see the attraction in making all your ports USB-C, but that's just not where the computing world is yet. Give us 3 USB-C and 2 USB-A. Give us 2 of each and a specialized charging cable.
P.s. I would be more into the USB-C charger if I believed it was 100% safe to charge other devices with it, but I'm not sure that's true (even though I trust Apple - I'm not sure about the other devices)[1].
