I would highly suggest to pen a letter or type an email or get an online petition and see if MR forum members are willing to support it and send it to Tim Cook, vice complaining about it here where it does little to no good. Want to discuss the pros/cons of something I am in agreement with your sentiment regarding the issue but I am also not loosing sleep or getting upset about it either.As said "this is Apple" want to use a Mac you have to play their game not that I agree with all. Apple offers great value with the M1 Air yet cash grabs where and whenever it can. Not a good look...
Apple really needs to get back to serving the customer. not it's self...

Not sure who is still using most of these connectors and if one needs them MBP (M1Pro 2021 and M2Pro 2023) has most of those covered.A bag of dongles...
I may be done with Apple. I purchased a $5500 MacBook Pro for me 8 months ago in addition to over $10k of Apple products for my business over recent years.
My wife needed a new laptop so I bought her a 13” M2 MacBook Pro with 32 Gig Ram and 1 Terabyte storage. I waited weeks to give it to her for xmas….18 days later (4 days past return option). When I finally helped her set it up, I saw it had one USB C port only…ONE! No HDMI, not one other single port. I’ve spent hundreds with expansion devices, extensions, Apple keyboard and magic mouse so she could actually use it. But it’s a laptop…so when we travel with it, we have to bring a bag worth of junk to get it to work in the real world…not really portable unless just cruising the web…she’s supposed to be abke to work on it…MS Office, images…
I feel so bad for her that I didn’t stop to think to ask about ports…right? At least 2 with an HDMI? Really Apple, or should I say Microsoft? It’s ridiculous and we’ll have to live with it.
That is so frighteningly like so many posts on various forums that I am now genuinely afraid that AI troll posts are going to take over the forums here and elsewhere.
You clearly didn’t read his entire post. Are you really serious ?Are you serious? If the MBP you purchased for your wife is such an unmitigated disaster, you'd think you'd notice it the moment you opened the box and set it up for the first time--assuming you failed to do due diligence in checking the specs prior to purchasing. So why didn't you simply return it as soon as you saw the problem and purchase an MBP better suited to her needs?
I'm reminded of the classic video about Antennagate and the iPhone 4: "If you don't want an iPhone 4, don't buy it. If you bought one and you don't like it, bring it back.""If you don't want that MBP, don't buy it. If you bought one and you don't like it, bring it back." So, why didn't you return it????
Yup, all these are in use by some and hardly by all user types. Apple has focused for more than 7 years on that USBC port so this is not a surprise to anyone that dongles at times are a good and cheap way to get these ports back, often times, also well established, enabling the user to just have one cable to attach or detach from the machine.CD’s, thumb drives, ethernet, hdmi, charging etc..swapping multiple dongle types…
More money than sense.I may be done with Apple. I purchased a $5500 MacBook Pro for me 8 months ago in addition to over $10k of Apple products for my business over recent years.
