But I already have peripheral devices with older connectors. This just forces me to buy dongles.

I already have a computer with USB-C - legacy connectors on peripherals force me to buy dongles.

Also, USB-C can only "do it all" on paper. In practice you have multiple sockets on any given device that support different subsets of the standard.

It's definitely not as good as it should've been, but as long as PC manufactures include as many standards as possible it should play well with whatever standard the peripherals are using.

That's why I want my computer to have both.

Until it doesn't.
