It's a reasonable tradeoff. Imagine your laptop with the power supply built in instead of as an external brick.

- sjs382 6y agoFor my M1, I thought I was in a pinch when I forgot my charger at work. I was fine, though—I just plugged in my 18W USB-C phone charger and used it while WFH.

They have found space for micro-sd-card reader on raspberryPi Zero ... It's absurd not to have it even on the phone.

You know what? Great! One thing less to care separately . It would be bad thermal solution though. By the way the brick itself was coming with extension cord. Now it comes without it. Imagine during your travel squeezing it in some public place with bad socket to charge it when it doesn't fit well enough and could even fall and break and your life depend on your ability to charge it. Do it few times during few travels, then you will understand how "reasonable" was to even to remove the extended power cord from the brick. Many things appear 'reasonable' on the paper until you use them in real life.
