Did you use all 7 ports at the same time? Computers had so many different ones because the accessories all had their own ports. It was a mess back then. Now everything is USB-C and Macbook Pros have 4 of them. Plenty of ports.

Yes, pros need that, that why pros get them. Air user won’t use 4 ports.

If air user do, they should be pro user.

That is true, I do not miss the old ports, but I want it to be replaced by the same amount of new ports.
