HDMI is ubiquitous. Any current projector, TV, or monitor (or any produced in the last 6 years) will have an HDMI port.

For a static port set, I think the burden of proof lies on whoever wants to remove the HDMI port.

However, I think Apple ought to have considered a Framework-style approach to ports. Why have static ports when you can have dynamic ports?

Because dynamic ports (basically internal dongles) reduces the amount of internal volume they have to work with. This would cause compromises in other areas like a thicker laptop, less battery life, noisier fan, etc.

The numerous USB-C dongles are basically dynamic ports..albeit with a lot more inconvenience. But internal swappable ports removes a lot of internal space.

Yep, I'm in Australia in a state that has been largely in office for most of the year and I used the HDMI port on my Dell XPS. Although because of the macbook users, every HDMI cable in the office has a usb-c dongle stuck on it so I wouldn't be too inconvenienced by the lack of the port either.

I wish I could plug into HDMI all the time. I still get a lot of VGA projectors !
