I admit i'm not super clued-up on this, but i just looked up the new MacBook. Does that mean i have to choose between charging, connecting a video projector, and using some USB hub i'll have to lug around to be able to read someone's presentation of a USB key? I wouldn't want to be in a position where i'm forced to run on the battery in certain circumstances (i'm a bit paranoid about the battery running out -- this is not impossible if one is giving a presentation after having spent a few hours on a train [in a backwards country without power outlets, of course] working hard)...

In the short term, yes, except adapters with multiple ports like apple's USB-c To HDMI adaptor that has both an HDMI port and another USB port to plug in power. Long term.. I would expect projectors/displays to supply power to their connected laptop.
