How are laptops with only USB-C supposed to be usable? Nowhere to attach rigid, 90%-internal devices like thumb drives & mouse dongles.
Then it's not 90% internal and rigid. It's 90% external and either floppy or a giant lever ready to destroy your laptop.

I believe that's the cost we have to pay until most external devices transition to USB-C, which seems to be far away from today.

How does the transition help? You simply can't get acceptable physical ux because there's no space to locate the device physically inside the port.
-
Once (and if) USB-C becomes the norm, maybe companies will put effort into actually making something small enough to fit this scenario. Maybe something T-shaped where the top part lays almost flush with your laptop encasing.

I don't see any way you couldcouls get this kind of physical ux (low profile and firm fit) with USB-C:https://twitter.com/RichFelker/status/1000571761367375877?s=20 …

That looks kinda viable but likely too small. At least max capacity will be something like 20% of what you could get in same profile with USB-A.
-
I agree there, but it those 20% end up being enough for most (I'd say up to 32gb should do it), then I wouldn't mind the restriction.

I would. My application is dumb device with only dummy OS on internal storage, everything on huge USB3 mini, removable & concealable for travel.
