Well, depending if these new macs use the USB-C port for charging _and_ regular USB usage, another laptop with a standard non-magsafe charging port could actually be more optimal for some/most.

I'm voting with my wallet, as they say. If enough people do the same, perhaps they'll come around after an iteration or two.
I'm voting with my wallet by not buying the headphone-jack-less iPhone 7, but I don't think enough people will care about the lack of MagSafe. It doesn't prevent you from doing anything, and with everything going SSD (i.e. no data loss if dropped) it's probably easier for Apple to just offer an AppleCare replacement policy if the products do get damaged by being yanked to the floor.

For some reason Macs are the only Apple product not covered for accidental damage by AppleCare. I'm not sure why.

It's not even about margins, the top of the line iPhone costs more than the MacBook Air and it's much prone to accidental damage.

Same here, I'm fine with the 6S+ for another year.
