Sooooooort of. It went up to 16-inch literally the last revision. It was 15-inch since the G4 Titanium in 2001, and went up to 16 in late 2019, with no further revision in between.

Sure.

So, that's a tricky one. Most ports simply won't fit in a chassis like the 24-inch iMac. Adding ports to the side is an option, which is why they did that for the headphone jack, but you don't really want something hanging off of there for prolonged periods of time.
Will they add more ports to the power adapter, like they have done with Ethernet? Will they make this one significantly thicker so more ports can fit?

2022: Pro-oriented Macs named as such, styled/colored in serious, sedate tones, sporting M1 Pro/Max guts and more ports. The M2 powers everything else under $2,000 without “pro” in its name.

Indeed!
Bit by bit, they're fixing the confusing 2016 era.
