The silliest part is that the newest MBPs are plenty thick enough to accommodate the magsafe connector, but Apple likes to play games by making just the edge thin and hiding the other half of the machine's thickness in a big bulge underneath.
If they just extended the bulge a centimeter out to the edges it wouldn't look as slim but it would easily be able to fit magsafe, USB-A, HDMI, and maybe even RJ45.

I'm hoping this is what happens in the next redesign which should be coming soon. The iPad Pro already went for a flat edge design, so hopefully that gets carried over to the MBP.
