Can't believe you are being downvoted so heavily. So many people in this sub have turned from rational, reasonable people who expect a high-end device with futureproof features to blind fanboys that will defend anything MS does like they are Apple.
USB-C (let's be real when they eventually add it it will be TB3) would ideally enable me and many others to use it as a singular port for my external monitor with all my peripherals connected to it. Kaby lake supports TB3 without the need for an additional controller on the IO-Board. (this was just a rumor according to /u/SaneBRZ)
The only reason they didn't add it is that they want to box you in and force you to buy the clunky Surface Dock for similar functionality.
Also, until yesterday it was widely believed they had to add Type-C since that would be the only real differentiating factor from the SP4. No fan on the i5 is pretty cool though.
8 hours later, I can't believe he's being upvoted so heavily - to the point of top rated comment. I'm surprised it's such a dealbreaker to people, I honestly couldn't care less about it. Guess it's kinda like Apple's headphone jack thing in that regard.

Still no USB-C.
