The thing is most people don’t use Macs or even personal computers for that matter anymore. It’s never been about a massive appeal product, it’s about meeting people’s needs. I think Apple remembers the good old days when they got rid of the CD ROM and everyone went from doubting it to patting them on the back and saying what a good job they did calling the trend.

Even in 2020, a professional computer is not really professional IMO if it does not have an ethernet jack. Even my wife’s $300 cheapo HP laptop has a drop-down ethernet jack, it adds no thickness. There is no technical or form limiting reason not to have an ethernet jack.
