You're being downvoted, but you're not wrong. At least in the case of the Ethernet module, which most people aren't going to leave plugged in most of the time.

The utility in the ports being modular is more so in the initial configurability at purchase rather than swapping them out by the user on a regular basis.

But having a laptop with 4/6 USB-C is pretty nice. Add on the fact that my dongles don't dangle and it is even cooler.

I hate it when my 4 to 6 dongles dangle too. So annoying. Thankfully we finally have a solution for it.

Hell, I swap em. I usually don't have to connect to a TV, but if I do I have the HDMI on hand and I'll swap it with the 3.5mm, which I use more often so it's usually in the chamber. You can hotswap em and everything, I love it!
