...then you're the kind of person that has no problem plugging all of that stuff into a hub so that you only have one cable to connect.

It's a made-up problem with an easy solution that is arguably the only correct solution. If Apple put five ports on there, I suspect your imaginary scenario would then involve four displays.

If you want a hub, plug in a usb-c hub that provides power and it will power the laptop.

Do people even read about how things work before they make up crazy scenarios to justify their outrage?

It says use Thunderbolt, and you can daisy-chain a display. Thus, with 1 port you can connect two Thunderbolt displays.

It also says it doesn't support more than two displays in any case.

You have the option of "docking" a portable but you will never be able to conveniently lug along something like a desktop unless you carry some display device along with it.
