That's true and good, but I still want to be able to plug on an HDMI or Ethernet cable without a damn adapter.
Thankfully USB-C can handle both of those protocols. Just like with Micro USB and Mini before it, it will just take time until the ecosystem catches up. Just, this time, you can run the entirety of possible data streams through a single port.
I don't wanna wait until the system catches up I need to hook up my laptop to the projector now, and all the cables are hdmi
You can get USB-C to HDMI cables, you don't need an adapter.
In many settings you get a hdmi cable where the other end is installed out of view, so that's not an option. But HDMI is a bad standard anyways, so I'm fine with having to carry an adapter
