I’d disagree pretty strongly that the majority of laptop buyers[0] are going out there and doing things. If anything, we’re trending more in a sedentary direction as a species. Also, as an active person myself I’ve never had a problem with USB-C; I don’t use my laptop out hiking and fishing, and I’m kind of confused who in the world is riding horses or bicycles and also fiddling with their consumer electronics at the same time. And while maybe USB-C is less durable than headphone jacks, I can also say that wired headphones suck when you’re being active. I can’t even count how many times a door knob ripped out my earbuds and sent me into a fit of rage. I switched to Bluetooth and never looked back. 0 - Of course the world’s poor are active, but they’re also not the target consumers for USB-C devices.
