I doubt this is much of a constraint in the real world. Most people plug power in, perhaps an external mouse, and that's it. (They should be plugging in external storage for backups, which might require an extra port, but I doubt most people do in practice).

I'm pretty much USB-C only at this point, but even before then I never understood the fixation on "dongles".
