cameras use cf, cfast, xqd, sd and micro-sd.

should apple include all of those slots?

the most popular camera is the iphone, which doesn't have any cards.

most people (even many network professionals) use wifi. for those who
use ethernet, they can get an adapter. no big deal.

some networking equipment still has serial ports and those ports have
been gone for years.

get a usb-c dongle. big deal. 

it won't be long until every computer has a usb-c port and everyone is
swapping usb-c flash drives.

or just use wifi to exchange data.

and added *four* usb-c/tb3 ports which blow away all of the other ports
*combined*.

it's not gone.

and gaining an advantage by not requiring overpriced proprietary
adapters and also being able to plug in power on either side.

or just get this:
