USB-A and SD Cards are notoriously show for data transfer. HDMI is yet another spec that can't do everything USB-C can and has worse perf.
Though difficult Apple absolutely did the right thing here as far as getting things down to one standard for everything (charging, display and data transfer). USB-C is vastly superior to all of the previous standards.

Well seeing as the new Macbook Pro's are thinner, that means the hardware got smaller, which means if you put the new hardware in the old shell, you have extra space for more new hardware. So actually it does work like that.... lol.
The thing is, 95% of things run on USB-A so to buy a 1,500 dollar machine that doesn't support that natively is annoying, and if you look all over youtube and the internet, everyone is ripping them apart for it along with getting rid of magsafe.
Yes it's nice to have a new standard that can do everything, which is why on the perfect machine you had 2 USB-C and 2 USB-A, along with SD Card and HDMI because you can.
