Can't you still use the USB-C ports for the higher bandwidth if you want to (and have the dongle?)

But you can't use the HDMI port as a USB-C. I would much rather another USB C to an HDMI, which never gets used

True, but you also have a dedicated power port, when before if you wanted to plug in that had to be one of the USB-C's too.

I doubt there’s another USB C bus available to be used so it’s not really stealing away one(or if it is it’s shared with other peripherals built in).
