Since 2016, I've looked on in frustration as MacBooks got thinner, faster, and better-looking while slowly shedding everything except a few USB-C ports. I didn't have to mess with wireless protocols or make sure I had an adapter that actually worked. The USB-C ports on modern MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and MacBook are the only connections you have on your laptop and you need them to work for you at all.
