This pic leaves out the latest generation of MacBook that brings back some of those ports.
I guess OP would rather generate outrage upvotes, rather than spread the truth.

Yup, and it's glorious. My coworkers have the newer MBPs, and it's really nice having HDMI. They mostly still use USB-C, but they each use HDMI at least once/week (older TVs w/o airplay, for example). I'm upgrading soon, and I'm excited.
To make our laptops look clean and minimalistic, they made us buy a bunch of dongles and adapters.
Screw it, I'm buying a rugged laptop with the thickness of a desktop PC next

USB-C does a lot of heavy lifting. Also, MagSafe™ is still there. A little surprised there is also a SD card slot. And a HDMI port. Not complaining about their inclusion, and I do use them regularly, but why did the dongle company give these to us?
Funny you say this. I’ve been screaming at my usb c to mini display port adapter for the last hour or so. getting the idisplay or what they are called to work on my work laptop is just agony, because the adapter is so old and doesn‘t work properly anymore and the thing doesn’t offer any other connection methods..

I dont know why this is controversial. I'm way more happy with 4x USB-C, than 5 unique ports, that will likely never be used on a regular basis, even when they were relevant
How about this:
- 4x USB-C (can't see why I'd need 4 though, 3 is plenty)
- 2x USB-A
- HDMI
- RJ-45
- headphone jack
- microsd
That should still fit just fine on the chassis if they didn't do the stupid curve thing, and it certainly wouldn't make it thicker.
You like a little baggy of dongles and adapters?
4 USBC would be cool. Most of these devices only have 2 or 3, minus 1 required for power delivery. If you have peripherals a hub is almost required.
I'm okay with USB-C and a headphone jack on my laptop. The other shit is for the birds.
I'm on the other side wishing peripherals would catch up and all become USB-C already. I'm tired of USB-A.
