USB-A, FireWire and that video output converged to Thunderbolt, which also means I can connect several displays to e.g. a 2021 MacBook Pro. The separate headphones and microphone jacks got merged as well. After the whole Touch Bar brouhaha, the card reader and HDMI also made their return.
So the one connector we did lose is Ethernet. Which, to be fair, is a bummer indeed. Luckily, we can easily push 1 Gbps over Wi-Fi nowadays.
It’s a bummer you really have to mash the RJ45 into the USB-C port now, totally ruins the connector in my experience, but I guess that’s the price of progress.

You can push Gigabit Ethernet through USB-C too, so a single USB-C connection will likely be our future port allowance 😇
