With any luck the mag-safe connector will be back in a couple of years. Of course Apple will call it "new".

If you care about it, just buy a magnetic USB-C dongle: https://www.amazon.com/usb-c-magsafe/s?k=usb+c+magsafe

Returning to magsafe would be a downgrade when you can just magsafe-ify any of the ports yourself with a cheap adapter.

Not an entirely bad idea, however I t should be obvious that having an adapter hanging out the side of ya laptop is less than ideal.

Well, I think it's a superior solution to having a special magsafe port when you can have more USB-C ports with the option to add magsafe to them.
