No, my argument was not about spending money. I specifically noted that I don't much care about the pricing.
My point was that adapters are something that I have to think about, carry separately, and sometimes forget or lose.
I don't know why people keep repeating "USB-C works with X" (replace X with whatever). It might work if I get all the dongles. For the moment, as I said, out of ~40 devices around me there are exactly ZERO that I can plug into the new machine.
Also, let's not get into extremes here: I would not complain if they at least kept at least one or two USB 3 ports.
