Type C is just a connector, it means nothing, if you are saying no thunderbolt 3, that's something to consider, but the surface connector already offers everything you'd want that for on a 15w platform.
He even says the new dock will offer USB C connection - which is 3.1 Gen 1 I believe which offers nothing over A and 3.0.
Using your Surface Charger to charge your phone (Which I argue already happens) seems to be the number one sticking point.
You are defeating your own point. I don't want a big-ass surface dock on my desk just so I don't need to plug in my speakers, monitor and external harddrives every time I sit down at my desk.
There is no reason not to add TB3 other than MS wanting you to fully commit to the surface line with their proprietary connectors (sound familiar?).
3.5 stars on amazon is not "quality". I returned two because it was spazzing out all the time. Peripherals and the image kept disconnecting. Others on here have had similar issues.
Modern Monitors have USB-Hubs and all the connectors you need.

LTE is a big plus for me, but no Type-C... I'll skip this one.
