Base model 'Pro' is simply being positioned as a next gen Macbook Air (which also has less ports than the Pi).

It helps making a more valid comparison if one doesn't get so hung up on product names.

Same nonsense as the ppl who make complaint threads over the 2016 iPhone being called 7 instead of the 6SS :rolleyes:
 
Not only has it more ports, but it's smaller, lighter and a lot cheaper. I wonder why Apple even bothers...
