That's... great. So, when are you gonna make the switch instead of trying to speak for the masses? You don't want thin, you want a myriad of ports, you want this that blah blah blah. Key word, you. Sure, others too, but not "we" without clearly stating whom. To be honest you're probably over the age of 30, not that there's anything wrong with that, but Apple is marketed not to you, nor does it market to the Pro market. It's marketed towards 20-somethings whom are less tech-savvy judging by recent decisions including app permissions changed in MacOS, as well as its general direction with thinness, device aesthetics, emojis, watch bands, new colors, etc etc.
For some annoying reason, though, the misconception of the "Pro" moniker never dies down. Pro does not mean professional. It means a more computationally powerful version of the device WITHOUT the pro moniker. The Macbook. Just like how nobody would argue Surface Pro is for professionals. It's merely a more powerful Surface. Get that in your heads and stop the cognitive dissonance. Frankly, Apple hasn't even tried to market the MBP to traditional professionals, rather the average prosumer who doesn't need a plethora of ports or connectivity. Macbook Pro is simply a more powerful Macbook, not a workstation device marketed towards Professionals. You have the Dell Precision Mobile Workstation as well as the Lenovo Thinkpad line for your intensive needs. The average "Traditional Professional" around Macrumors is sounding a lot like a lost dog that Apple itself doesn't want, but it keeps barking and sitting at Apple's doorstep. Go move to Dell or Lenovo.
Why tell us the truth... Don't you know this is mac-"rumors" and this website is just for those wanting to Vent and complain?
Diffinately correct...their target market is 20-something and not tech savvy which is now most of the generation. Those in marketing know that. They spend like there is no tomorrow. Why not add that they do not want to think and have their devices do everything in life for them. Isn't that now Apple's mission statement? Little effort to do anything, have someone else do everything for them? Yes, you are correct...
