The way I see the modular ports story is that the use-case is less being able to switch them, more getting the ports you want. I've got a usb c on either side, which I don't have with my work ThinkPad. I still have a usb a yubikey, so I can make sure to have that port. etc

Agreed on the battery unfortunately, on my first gen 13" it's just mediocre.

Agree on the modular port reasoning. My most commonly used non-charging port is the micro SD card, which I imagine is rare.
Yeah most people don't have a lot of things connected to their laptop, or else they more likely would have bought a desktop. But the things that different people have connected to their laptop is often quite different from each other.

So most people don't need a lot of ports, they just might need different ports.
