This seems like a vehicle for complaining about a pet list of missing macOS features rather than actually being commentary about the Neo.

For instance, they are arguing that Apple is pushing users toward a Thunderbolt dock - on a computer without Thunderbolt.

The MacBook neo is a great Mac for anyone who is fine with the built in apps, and doesn’t know what a gigabyte is.

In a refresh or two when they up it to the next a-series pro chip and 12GB ram, it’s going to be an unambiguous deal.

no kidding, when that soc is on the top sellign iphone AND top selling macbook.

economies of scale is the 9th wonder of the world

It's a bit of a silly point now since the Neo only supports one external display anyways* but if they do support 2 or more displays it will be a problem. Even if they add TB support when they do, unless the prices of TB docks drop dramatically they'll have the same problem.

* Earlier mobile phone SoC in a laptop devices from Qualcomm still supported two or more external displays!

While I agree the missing MST support complaint is valid it seems very far fetched to me it's a deal breaker preventing Mac adoption. Most people only use 1 screen, a fraction of people dual screen (especially laptop users) and only a tiny fraction have or really need more screens.
