Definitely, having strong competition is what keeps companies honest.

That’s something a lot of people will do for fun.

Homie, the non profit club we’re renting a room from isn’t going to buy a new projector just because I think HDMI is beneath my dignity.

Projectors have a long lifespan, and don’t tend to be replaced until they actually fail.

Besides, HDMI can transfer up to 48 gigabit/sec, so it’s actually faster than anything but the very latest standard of USB.

I recently bought a refurbished laptop, and a large part of the reason I got it was for presentations, HDMI was a must have feature for me.

I imagine any enterprise laptop would be similar, if you can’t hook it up to the projector, why bother?

Yep. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

Because one of them is actively promoting and favouring viewpoints many people find abhorrent.

The fact it’s owned by a billionaire isn’t the major concern for most people.

A lot of people give presentations or connect their laptop to a TV, I don’t think taking out the HDMI port would go down well at all.

Tech enthusiasts vastly overestimate how much hassle people are willing to put up with in order to do something, and this is a classic example.

Power, HDMI, a few USBs, and headphones, all you’ll ever likely need.

There’s no doubt a dongle for anything else.

I’d likely never know if Google stopped logging me into the apps I use when I get a new device?

What?

That’s some real tinfoil hat stuff, to be honest. If Google did pull something like that, I could always just create an account the old fashioned way.

This may hurt some feelings, but I trust Google more than some FOSS password manager. Besides, I log into pretty much everything with my Google account anyway.

Yes, why wouldn’t we?
