I agree with you here. I looked around at PC laptops and all of them had a combination of ports that felt like a compromise.
> The charging light and other power supply issues are USB-C trade-offs.
Personally, I'm bummed the battery indicator lights are gone as well as the charging indicator. I don't think they had to ditch the charging light because of USB-C because third parties are doing it[1]. The charging USB-C that ships with MacBook Pros is already a beefier, more expensive USB-C cable than the data-only ones.
