Gotta agree with this. I have a big workstation machine at home for work, and a thin & light laptop that does the bare minimum that I use for travel. It's 2 lbs but still has a dedicated graphics card and good enough to do light CAD work. Everything has a practical purpose, it just depends on your specific needs.
Obviously he's exaggerating. I think most people agree they'd rather have some ports and extended battery life than a half pound lighter laptop.
Doesn't mean they can't offer both, and there's no reason they can't have status lights, 7-row keyboards, and reasonable port offerings (even if it's mostly a bunch of USB C ports, which can service just about anything) in a smaller package, it's that they're cheap, lazy fucks selling trends instead of utility.
