You can be a generic PC vendor and STILL ship PS/2 ports, and mice with PS/2 
adapters, because you know, USB simply isn't totally ubiquitous yet. OR you can 
be Apple and say "screw it, it's time for change, our users deserve better".

Guess what the best way to make streaming catch up is? Introduce incredibly 
popular media consumption devices that doesn't have optical drives...

There's a trade off, for sure, but at this point I'd absolutely love to see 
Apple ditch optical drives across their entire line of products. Borrow / keep 
a USB CD+DVD reader around for the, probably really rare, need to access some 
old CD / DVD.
