It's not about it being practical. It's about if it's actually doable or not and how well it would work. Having the native ports will always be better that using a hub/dock.
Yeah, because plugging in one thing is way harder than plugging in six.
This is a classic use case for a laptop dock.
That's a very lazy, short-sighted and first world problem way of looking at this issue.
Why would having the option of using either a hub or plugging things on separately be worse than only being able to use a hub?
Because I don't want a chonky boi laptop to carry around.
A couple more ports wouldn't make your laptop "chonky".
