Well, I know what you mean, but... I have a macbook for work and when we all converted to work from home, I needed to buy a USB-C ethernet adapter, thunderbolt adapter, and a USB-C to "old" USB adapter, and was shocked to find out that each one was $30-$40. I guess that's cheap in the grand scheme of things, but it would be nice if this stuff was still bundled into the computer.
My company provides them, but we buy off-brands and I assume in bulk. I asked IT about it once - could it really be that much cheaper? - and turns out yes, it's substantially cheaper, especially at scale.
I guess my point is, don't be afraid of off-brand dongles!
