16" MacBook Pro announced, and it has a proper escape key

Huh? I have Thunderbolt 2 to DisplayPort and Ethernet dongles. They’re still totally usable.

But my MBP 2014 15" also has 2 USB 3.0 ports, as well as a MagSafe charging port, an HDMI port, and an SD card port.

At the end of the day, the 2014 15" MBP has seven ports compared with four, all of which are still useful as modern ports today. How is it better to have four USB-C ports?
