The new USB Type C standard can provide up to 100W of power, while at the same time letting you use it to send DisplayPort (and you can connect to HDMI or DVI devices with a simple adapter) signalling. And your network connection.

But with wireless charging + wireless data/display casting chances are it won't be that long before you won't need a wire for any of this most of the time.

There are still some security advantages to dedicated KVM ports, compared to shared transports like wireless and USB.
That may be so, but how many people do you think will care?
The few with financially valuable digital assets?
In my experience, the people I know with the most assets are also the most careless people I know when it comes to security (passwords includes initials + birth date, name of children, name of the family dog and similar...)

That includes several quite wealthy tech founders...
