Dude, those two little UBS-C ports do 50x what the ports on the bottom laptop could do
That's true and good, but I still want to be able to plug on an HDMI or Ethernet cable without a damn adapter.
Thankfully USB-C can handle both of those protocols. Just like with Micro USB and Mini before it, it will just take time until the ecosystem catches up. Just, this time, you can run the entirety of possible data streams through a single port.
By the time the ecosystem has "caught up", we'll have USB-D ports to contend with. Possibly even USB-E.
