      It isn't universal with all the shit I already have, or even most of the shit being made today.

      Most of the other things aren't proprietary either.

      • USB-A still very very much in use
      • SD cards still in use
      • Ethernet still in use and very handy at hotels
      • HDMI (other side) very useful at hotels
      • Headphones and microphones still very much in use

      Magsafe charger came in the box and is objectively better (and doesn't hog an I/O port which are in short supply)
