who needed only 1 USB-A and two lightning cable ports?

That MacBook has an additional USB-A port and an HDMI port on the other side

When was Mini-DVI relevant?

In the mid 2000s. DVI offered the advantage of digital signal and support for higher resolutions at a time when most other laptops still had a VGA port. Part of Apple’s option of “premium” technologies. HDMI didn’t really start to take hold until the late 2000s, and Apple eventually switched.

Apple have generally been willing to adopt the more novel / premium connections in their products. Consider the 2016 MacBook Pro - Apple went all-in on Thunderbolt / USB Type C at a time where that was a rather uncommon connection, but in the years that followed we got an awesome array of aftermarket hubs and adapters that also benefited ultrabook users as the rest of tech started to follow suit.

Don’t get me started on the iPhone USB-C port being limited to 500Mbps though.

I navigate Windows almost entirely through keyboard shortcuts, ‘run’ commands, and the search box

Familiarity with any OS takes time

Also, a willingness / knowledge to ‘work around’ the problem
