So this seems to be the problem. You're definition of Pro includes "all the ports". The author's definition of Pro includes "avoid HDMI, SD slot, Display Port". It can't both have and not have all the ports.

The author's definition of Pro also includes 16GB RAM, but most posts I've seen complain about not being able to order 32GB RAM. It seems that Apple can't win no matter what they do.

Well, given how many millions of devices they sell, maybe they can allow a couple more options. We don't all need the exact same device.

(tbh, avoiding sd and hdmi doesn't make sense to me. What do you have to lose?)

The RAM issue is a different one. Someone who wants 16GB RAM isn't likely to complain if 32GB is an option.
