I’m glad I can plug in one port and have a dual display setup, all peripherals, speakers, ethernet, charging, etc connected at my desk in one go.

If I want to leave, unplug one thing and I’m good to go.

I'm glad I can purchase an external dock for an extra few hundred dollars to get the functionality back that existed in older models

Few hundred? What, are you stuck in 1995?

Less than $100 for my current one, and it supports our Dell, Lenovo, and Mac (and I'm no Mac fan).

That said, you'll take my USB A ports from my cold, dead, hand.

It depends... if you have multiple hires monitors, you may need an active dock for £200+.
I'm cheap though so I use a £50 passive dock and just plug in the last monitor separately.
