What about when you're not using the power adapter?
Even two USB ports on my MacBook "Pro" is too limited for my daily use case. I use a USB yubikey for multifactor auth with LastPass and it takes up one USB slot permanently. I prefer wired mice, so my mouse takes up the second USB port.
If I want to charge my phone, Fitbit or in the past Google Glass with the USB port, I have to unplug my mouse.
I would not buy the new MacBook as it's unusable for me unless I carry around a hub everywhere.
