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.
Find me a laptop that has 10GbE. I’ve only seen 1Gb and recently 2.5GbE. Note that thunderbolt 3 is 40 Gb/s, or 4 times that. Thunderbolt 5 is up to 120Gb/s, or 12 times that. If you’re editing video directly from your high-bandwidth NAS on a several-thousand dollar laptop, I find it extremely unlikely that a sub-$500 dock would be a concern. Even more, anybody who actually does that on a day-in-day-out basis would clearly see the benefit in using a dock in the first place, due to the convenience of having so much bandwidth and power able to be provided over a single cable.
