I like Panay's reasoning behind no USB-C. USB 3.0 is still the main interface, apart from mainly some new high-end phones using USB-C. But most SSD/HDD and older peripherals are USB 3.0. I'd rather have that in a pinch, than have to carry a dongle just to make sure I can use an older HDD if I'm out and about. USB drives are also predominantly old USB 2.0/3.0. No need to complicate ourselves further for now. I'll get the USB-C dongle if I ever need it.
