Theoretically more versatile, but high-quality SDXC and HDMI built-in is much more practical than a 4th(!) Thunderbolt 5 port.

Also MagSafe, which the 2019 didn’t have.

How is an HDMI port more practical than a port that can be an HDMI port or a DisplayPort or a USB port or an SD card reader or an SDExpress reader or a dock or a port expander or whatever else?

HDMI+SDXC+magsafe built-in is more practical than a fourth generic port and fishing around in your laptop bag for dongles.

Except you probably have dongles in your bag anyways. USB-C breakouts. C to A adapters. I am already in Dongleville. A slight repreive in the rare case I need an SD card is a glass of water in hell, plus, I already have multiple USB-C to SD card readers anyways.
