Apple cannot win on this front. "When is Apple going to adopt technology ABC?" followed by "Apple dumped technology ABC for technology LMNOP?" "Hey, when is Apple going to adopt technology XYZ?"
Thunderbolt 3/USB-C conquers all of those molehills in one stroke, and I'm glad they're all-in on it. Personally, I hope they stay all in and continue to force the issue. Over the last 5 years Mac users have had access to more peripherals than ever, thanks to USB-C. Had Apple not gone all-in on it, then we would still be selling the myriad of old crap and not-very-good-selection-because-it's-a-Mac stuff and people would be complaining that Apple wasn't offering ABCLMNOPXYZ on every confounded computer they sell.
One-thing-that-works-with-everything is way better than ABCLMNOPXYZ, because it forces accessory manufacturers to innovate rather than resting on their lorels.
- AppleNova is the best Mac-users forum on the internet. We are smart, educated, capable, and helpful. We are also loaded with smart-alecks! :)
