There are a lot of guys out there with 2016 era macbooks (cause it still has HDMI) running it into a projector to do visuals at small clubs and things like that.
Maybe some of those guys scraped together enough money to buy one of the new macbooks (since it got HDMI back). Being forced to spend another $200 to get rid of a stupid orange dot would really sting.
Those guys can probably crop at the projector though and not lose too much? Last I played with projectors was around 2010 and back then crop controls already came standard
2015 was the last MacBook with HDMI. Anyways I agree with you but it's true there is a lot of the richer professionals too - those who buy the new maxxed out MacBooks.
