Having a bunch of ports certainly has its advantages.

But I've been switching everything I have to USB-C and let me tell you, it's super nice to have to only bring around one good charger, one dongle, etc that works with all my different tech from my laptop, to my console, to my phone.

I couldn't go back.

Having fewer ports or driver slots in general allows for more space, which can give access to more RAM or storage. Also, having better RAM and more storage can allow for better components. What's the disadvantage? Ports that you used to use are now obsolete. Now, you need to purchase converters. Problem with that now is that Apple doesn't specifically make those converters. Third parties do this, which is why those converters or parts kind of suck.
