That's the most straw in a straw man I've seen in the whole thread.

Most new laptops have USB-C, A, and SD/micro SD, and HDMI. That's 95% of all uses.

If you really need more then you just bought the wrong laptop. Get a Thinkpad or framework 16. If you need to interface with old hardware, get a contemporary machine.

OK, but that wasn't the example shown or example given.

That configuration above (and often one of those collapsible Ethernet ports) makes a lot of sense. And a headphone jack. But that's a LOT different than just USB-C, which was the complaint.
