From what you've posted, it sounds like the MBP would better suit your needs than the MacBook.
No, you may require a number of adapters, but not everyone does. Work environments vary in their computing requirements.
They make adapters for those who need them. Not everyone does.
I carry a rMBP and have zero adapters that I need to carry. I'm not the only one. The point is, you keep trying to fit everyone into your limited view of what a work environment or job or computing needs are. Those are false assumptions.
No, you prefer an Apple laptop. You don't need one, as there are other computers that would meet your needs. You have to make accommodations to meet your particular needs. That may mean you buy an adapter and leave it at the office, so you don't have to carry one. That may mean you buy a Thunderbolt display. That may mean you buy a different computer. It does not mean that the MacBook is somehow lacking just because it's not suited to your particular needs.
