Why do you take it so personal? If you don't like dongles don't use things that require dongles. Why the need to insult people who don't mind by calling them fanbois? Or is your opinion always the only valid one? It's very simple.
- Buy a daw with no dongle.
- Use plugins that don't require dongles
The discussion here is answering silly reasons like "not enough ports". Well if you don't have enough ports to hook up an extra USB disk drive and a mouse and a USB audio device at the same time, (even if you don't have a dongle) what do you do?
You get a USB hub.
That's why companies make them... not specifically for dongles but for anything that requires extra USB ports. That's just silly.
If you don't like dongles what do you do? Don't buy things that require dongles? No need to insult people who don't mind dongles in the process. I personally don't mind my Cubase dongle. Do I have your permission to use it without being insulted?
Nobody is imposing anything on you since you are free to not use their products.
Anyway, when I shopped for my daw laptop I made sure I had 4 USB ports. Dongle, mouse, thumbdrive occasionally and MBox occasionally. It wasn't hard to plan for that. I also installed a secondary hard disk for audio/video so I'd need one less port for that, or one less external device.
All my desktops have at least 4 USB ports. Silly reason.
