That's my preferred answer. We can have magsafe back too. :)

Sadly Apple rate thinness too highly, so I suspect they'll not give it up easily.

I don’t see why they can’t have Air for customers that want thinness and Pro for customers that want portable workstations. Is there a reason, other than “marketing”?

Yes please. Honestly the new format is such a clusterfuck of unwanted features, poor hardware implementation, and removal of wanted features that it makes you wonder how it got out the door.

Hanging onto my circa 2013 MBP until they come up with a more appealing offer, or going elsewhere.

Consumers seem to - I'd take a Galaxy S8+ with twice the thickness to get some decent battery life.
It irks me even more when they try to keep their desktops thin.
