eh usb-c to usb-A adapters are easy to get and permanently keep on the usb-a device. i wouldn't want to trade usb-a ports for usb-c ports any day on a laptop since the usb-c tb4 ports are so powerful.

"Eh", there are other things than the USB-C sockets you can trade with to get volume for USB-A sockets. Also, your "just use a dongle" argument is a nonstarter.

  Saw the same argument when they dropped parallel and serial ports on the original iMac. There are adapters that you can leave on the cable, or buy new cables. USB-C is the future and is here now.

    A few years back I had to buy a usb serial adapter for, er, something or other. It was translucent blue. Apparently they made WAY too many of these for the iMac launch…

    I'm choosing to read this in that particularly smug English Jony Ive accent.
