The thing is, working from home now, the computer needs to be plugged in to power, i have an external display, what about a mouse and keyboard, I would like to hook it up directly to the router, but halas, no ethernet port.
Because 1 port can do it all doesn't mean that i only need 2 ports... it's a little like when apple removed the headphone jack from their phones, suddenly you couldn't listen to music when charging your phone without a little dongle. (i know, bluetooth and all. no need to tell me)
Then again, they do it cause they can. I complain about it but i have a phone without a headphone jack and a computer with only 2 usb-c ports.
There's another way to charge your phone while listening to music. Use a wireless charger.

But as for the ports, you can get a smallish hub to be able to connect other USB devices. But yes, Apple is annoying by dropping ports that actually are useful. I'm waiting for Apple to drop all ports on the iPhones.
