It’s fine and not a big deal for me. I rarely charge by cable anyway. I wouldn’t have batted an eye had Apple removed the port entirely and said to do everything wirelessly.
Being able to connect accessories to it will be kind of handy though. I plan on plugging my usb c multi-dongle from my laptop into it and seeing how many things work. If it supports a usb c Ethernet dongle for networking that will be handy for work when I need to check ports for connectivity and speed.
