I just learned that I can charge my M1 MBP via USBC instead of the magsafe port

[Acer]

I still like magsafe. I'm on the couch a lot, and the stiff USB charging is a liability for breaking a USB port. Same for any non-magnetic charging port.

So, like, why do I have to give up something I find valuable because a small subset of "power users" have a bag full of peripherals they want to run simultaneously...yet can't find space in their bag for a hub?
