      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.

      So your criticism is them offering an Ethernet port add-on that fits into their modular system but is slightly larger than the rest?

      Is that right?

      This is like saying that a penis and a “vagina” are the same thing because they are both sex organs that you pee from… You’re not technically wrong but most people would agree there is a pretty big difference between the two.
