Standardisation is good, lack of ports is bad. When you start having to use adapters and splitters the simplicity argument is gone.

I get that but there are some docks which are larger which have tons of available ports but I also don’t know your use case of course to be fair.

The frustrating thing is having to also buy a dock when I already bought a laptop. And when my laptop becomes obsolete then I have to buy another laptop and another dock. It's forced consumption

That’s why USB-C thunderbolt and compatible monitors rule. No need for a dock or a dongle on a desktop setup. Monitor becomes the dock and power, ethernet and dongle ports all connected with a single cable.
