Other companies that make USB-C laptops still manage to include USB A ports, ethernet ports, and HDMI. Some USB-C laptops even have more esoteric stuff like RS-232. Docking my MBP at my desk is great, but it's a pain in the ass when I need to go anywhere else and use multiple video outs and multiple network connections

If you want RS-232 on your laptop, you must realize that you belong to a vanishingly small demographic that Apple will never even pretend to cater to.

Definitely don't expect Apple to bring back serial ports, just pointing out that if Laptops smaller than a MacBook Pro can have HDMI, serial, USB A, USB C, ethernet, and VGA then I don't buy any arguments about getting rid of ports to keep the device small.
