We're so used to having a VGA port and maybe PS/2 keyboard + mouse that we think it odd when they're not there :-) Now it's all USB and HDMI (or Displayport) with adapters to the old stuff if needed.
The Raspberry Pi has HDMI and USB FWIW. My old Mac Mini has mini-DVI and mini-Displayport and adapters to what the rest of the world does. Why do servers still have VGA + PS/2? Because most KVMs haven't switched? FWIW, I still have a KVM that will do serial mice.
