Ehhhh, your "counterpoint" would apply to a laptop that has all the ports too though. If you're plugging so many things into it regularly, then maybe you should just have a desktop instead of a laptop full of ports. But honestly, I don't think it's a very strong counterpoint either way.
When I worked in an office space before getting to work from home, having a dock was super handy for being able to take my laptop to meetings where I needed to access info or take meeting notes. I had multiple meetings like that per day so unplugging and plugging everything in before/after every meeting would have sucked. My work laptop is a Thinkpad with all the ports as well, but I only ever used the USB-C port to connect to the dock at my desk.
