It's odd that the review says "passes through power for charging" when the datasheet cites a measly 18W. That's nowhere near enough even for smaller MacBooks…
But, yes, at the risk of rehashing the dongletown discussion over and over again:
- I'm mostly not bothered by this. Buy appropriate adapters and/or docks, and be done.
- That said, it can lead to painful and embarrassing moments. This is especially true of the HDMI port, I think. You will sooner or later run into a situation where you try to present in a customer's meeting room and… don't have a USB-C-to-HDMI adapter.
