There's still laptops being sold in 2018 with VGA ports and PC motherboards with old DB-9 serial ports. And given the mess that USB-C is right now, it may prevent it from becoming the "new normal" for quite a long time. There's also USB-C ports which can do everything, other USB-C ports that cannot, etc. It really is a mess.
And nothing prevented Apple from adding USB-C ports while still keeping at least one USB-A port. They did it for the iMac, which still has the regular standard power connector while the MacBook requires its only USB-C port to charge the computer, meaning you can't physically connect anything to it while charging unless you're suggesting to carry around a hub, which is way bigger than a tiny adapter.
The goal of a laptop is to have everything integrated into one unit. As soon as you need to carry something else, it means it lost some functionality along the way.
Apple could make their laptops even thinner and smaller if they removed the keyboard completely, and we'd have people like you telling us we shouldn't complain about having to carry external keyboards.
Just because we complain about the stupid decisions Apple takes doesn't mean we're anti-Apple. My main computer is a Mac mini. I'm looking at the laptops right now and the only sane options are the old 2015 15" MacBook Pro or the even more outdated MacBook Air (old CPU and very old display).
And they also dropped the ball by removing the classic USB 3.0 type A ports at the same time. What was the point of that? You can have both USB 3.0 and USB-C on the same computer.
I count watching Netflix, Hulu and others as "watching TV" because it's the same passive entertainment no matter which delivery method you use to get it.
But when talking about YouTube, things can get a lot more complicated. Are you passively watching a playlist of videos or are you searching for information and watching tutorials where the ability to pause, rewind and ask questions to the author of the video is important?
I don't know jack about Swift, but does it prevent people from assuming things about the CPU?
It could very well be that Apple has been planning a transition to ARM CPUs for a long time and Swift is one of the step required to have everyone coding in a language were re-compiling for a new CPU is as effortless as possible to make sure all programs can make the jump to the next generation of their computers.

So it's a GPU that won't tell anyone about the kind of porn you watch?
When you're doing a half-ass attempt, you can at worst expect half-shit results.
I'm staying seven generations behind. I'm getting free games and free consoles from trashcans!
In short, we should be able to play Xbox games from 2025 on the current Xbox One, but limited to 1080p at 30~60FPS.
Yep! Probably a new flavour with less sugar and no HFCS, too!
Tesla did use 18650 cells, but their new factories and cars use the new and bigger 21700 cells.

What's the point in having thinner laptops if we need to carry adapters around?
You probably mean bazzzz 6, right?
We took the concept of "nothing" and made a TV show about it.
It's amazing because even humans living in Rome thousands of years ago created a way to write numbers but no way to write "none".

I refure to own one of these so-called "abacus" or "record player". My sticks and singing bird work just fine for me, thank you!

And Fluttershy for MLP! Yay!
I'm talking about a seamless transition for the programmers, not the users.
Given the size of Apple's bank account, shouldn't we be writing Appl€?

And also much, much smaller than the USA.

Tell me about it. Last time I was there, I saw a perpetual motion machine that worked.
