I guess they will also never bring back normal USB-3.1 ports.
Guess I will have to keep my $5000 camera plugged into my Ryzen-based PC, it has 6x USB-3.1 ports. Oh and my studio microphone is also "old" usb. And my keyboard/mouse. And my phone cable. And my expensive Corsair flashdrive. And my Seagate external hdd. And my memory card reader (I have 7 memory cards for different cameras). I can go on.
I'm not going to daisy-chain stuff. I'm not going to buy a dock (just another thing on my desk and take up another power socket, and more LED's burning nonstop). I'm not going to buy dongles to convert from one spec to another.
And no, I'm not going to convert everything to wireless.
I have 1gbps fibre where I live, with a Asus router/modem sitting ontop of my PC, hooked up with 1gbps Ethernet cable. The 5GHz wifi is unstable if you don't sit in clear line of sight. I have a USB-3 to Ethernet dongle for my laptops but the fastest one achieves 800mbps and chows about 10% cpu when downloading something. ~2016 MacBook air gets 600mpbs with the same dongle.
Apple could've fix their port/dongle/dock mess this time around but chose not to.
