Those block the USB-Port, and to rely on dongles is so Apple.
The headphone jack is a signal. When Apple removed it people like me pledged to never support such a customer hostile move. Google's flip flop on that issue just made this conviction stronger. To remove that port is simply unacceptable, especially in a product aimed at minimizing waste.
I wonder whether this position is rare, or if FP just does not know its customer base.
