True, but when you're travelling for weeks at a time, you might need a replacement cable for whatever reason. It's easy to get a USB-C to USB-C cable or HDMI to HDMI cable pretty much anywhere. As soon as you want adapters, it'll be much harder to find and when you do it'll probably be 10x the price it should be.

The fact it obviously charges over USB-C is great - it's easy to get a new charger everywhere too. I've actually now stopped taking a travel adapter with me when travelling, and just buy a local USB power brick if I don't already have one for the country I'm going to. My oldish Dell laptop was my last non-USB powered device, but I found some cables on eBay that do the trick and even carrying a spare around (just in case) is less hassle than carrying the original laptop power brick.
