      Sure, but that’s not a common scenario anymore. We have wifi that is faster than most client Ethernet installations, and if you’re at a desk anyways you probably want a dock. I suppose there is the network engineer who needs to plug directly into various switches and such, but if that’s your debug mechanism, well I am very sorry, look into remote management options to make your life so much easier.

        Common according to who? Also, do you think that’s a coincidence? It’d be like saying that user “chose” to use primarily tws earphones instead of cabled ones. Manufacturers just removed the option and forced people to use rheir devices the way they wanted to.

        Regarding ethernet, please show me an inexpensive dock with 10gbe. You also don’t need to be a network engineer to take advantage of those speeds. For example, you could be editing video directly from a NAS.

        You have a pretty selfish viewpoint. Why would it be so bad to have more connectivity options? If you don’t want to use them, don’t.
