This article is hyperbolic and angsty. 90% of users in Australia don’t have a need for a dongle, and for those that do, there is a dongle. My iMac at work has a dongle to attach a second monitor via hdmi. My iMac at home does not, I would buy a dongle if needed. My AirPod pros are the best headphones I’ve ever had, would never go back to wired headphones, but if you’re an audiophile - there is a dongle for you. If you use flash drive still, there’s a dongle, or a USB C flash drive. If you need 400 USB ports, there’s a dongle.

This doesn’t limit anyone, it’s just turning the devices into more slim lined machines with better IP ratings. 90% of people (made up statistic) are happy with this system, I’m sick of hearing these old codgers dream of the glory days when their thinkpad had 40 ports... buy a thinkpad then ya dangus, why would you buy a Tesla if I want to go rock crawling off road?

Most people complaining are those who actually like Apple devices but now have very less choice if they want to stay dongle free. People who buy thinkpads might mock not complain.
