Yes and it was great. I hope you enjoy your extra ports so I can lug around my heavier more cumbersome devices with me, all day every day.

I think they've made a huge mistake in catering to the nerds rather than pushing the envelope for the average consumer. Never heard a civilian complain about the ports on their mac.

Unfortunately I have yet to meet a person who enjoyed the butterfly keyboard. Maybe I am too much surrounded by military people.

The person you are replying to said nothing about the butterfly keyboard, only ports. So I don't think they disagree with you on the keyboard part.

I’m sure some of that was done in collaboration with bean counters

And yet, those decisions were reverted after he left Apple, so are the bean counters really at fault here?
