"it's still too early to go USB-C only"

It does seem odd to have only one kind of port. That said, you can also look at it as "you only need one kind of port". No need to mix and match adapters. Just X to TB3.

As for too early, it's a chicken-egg thing. Someone is going to be early to market, and the market needs pressure to make the change.

"Compensating with indentations and force touch could have made it an amazing and useful tool."

I agree that force touch would be great. I think this is an iteration thing that we'll see in the future.

As for indentations, yeah, it would be nice to have something to know where one key ends and the next begins. It does limit flexibility though. And it's also a screen, not just a keyboard. Not sure how the indentations would work with the display.
