The way I see the modular ports story is that the use-case is less being able to switch them, more getting the ports you want. I've got a usb c on either side, which I don't have with my work ThinkPad. I still have a usb a yubikey, so I can make sure to have that port. etc
Agreed on the battery unfortunately, on my first gen 13" it's just mediocre.
Yeah most people don't have a lot of things connected to their laptop, or else they more likely would have bought a desktop. But the things that different people have connected to their laptop is often quite different from each other.
So most people don't need a lot of ports, they just might need different ports.

Agree on the modular port reasoning. My most commonly used non-charging port is the micro SD card, which I imagine is rare.
