They sold the notion of charging off your monitor cable pretty hard, there’s no way they could go back on that.

And to be honest, I use my laptop for home and office work. It’s very nice to be able to have to just (un)plug one cable and have everything (charging, 4K100 video, keyboard, mouse, webcam) working.

If Apple would have killed charging via USB-C PD, it’d have been a big regression for me.
