        Why move the goalpost though? I’m not narrowing it down to a specific user in a specific setting. I’m just saying that more flexibility == more better.

        Why would you make up a specific scenario to justify getting a inferior product (from a usability standpoint) than we used to?

          That’s my whole point; No, more ports isn’t more better. If you don’t need them they’re just more cost, more holes where water/debris can get into the machine, and more wrong holes to plug the charger into. If you do need them, then buy a machine that has them - there are plenty.

            Yeah, tell me another joke. the cost is negligible. Literally from cents to a few dollars for the manufacturer.

            more holes where water/debris can get into the machine

            This literally never happened to me or anyone I know.

            more wrong holes to plug the charger into

            If you plug in your usb-c/barrel jack charger into an ethernet/hdmi/displayport input, you deserve to have a broken laptop xD

            If you do need them, then buy a machine that has them - there are plenty.

            Not really true, but ok. Keep on preaching for companies that screw over consumers :)
