You seem to be wanting a stationary desktop computer, not a portable laptop used for many different situations.

HDMI is great when you're doing presentations all over the place, no need to keep track of dongles, most places I present at uses HDMI.

USB-A is useful for tons of accessories, personally I only have a one (out of five in total) using USB-C, and most USB sticks I come across when consulting are in fact USB-A.

If you're out after as much screen estate as possible, external monitors are for you. A 14-inch laptop are for people on the go.

Then you only have an HDMI dongle. Until you present at one that use display port, someone can give you a display port dongle.

I know that, I m not against it at all. Just, can we USB-2 retire now ?

I code on the go and I don't want to be on a small resolution laptop when I m not at home.
