you have to go all-in with Apple if you want convenience. the lack of ports on my M2 MacBook Pro is not an issue for me because everything else i have is Apple (AirPods Max, iPhone 16 Prole Max, iPad mini) and USB-C is all i need 99% of the time.

This is why I never get into Apple. The "you have to go all in and do what they want" is a dealbreaker.

How long are they supposed to keep this legacy crap around? They don't have VGA ports or serial ports or CD drives either!

Also USB-A and HDMI and ethernet ports are physically large, they probably would have to make the whole laptop thicker and heavier to accommodate them, and 90% of people would never use them.

If legacy ports are that important, get a new old stock Macbook Pro 2015, throw in a 2 TB PCIe SSD, partition it, and run whatever operating systems you want (with OCLP if necessary).
