I know you won't agree, but it's part of the deliberate minimalism Steve Jobs started with the Apple II. Woz had the geek point of view - put every single port anyone could ever possibly need on there. See PCs and laptops - they've only just stopped putting serial and parallel ports on those things. For Jobs simplicity and "the look" was more important, and of course he forced his viewpoint over Woz. That's why they are always the first to drop technologies as well (floppy disks, CD-ROMs, even network interfaces for the latest MacBook Airs). And that's why PCs/Androids/whatever are generally better for geeks.
For Apple devices, you can get just able to anything you need with an adaptor. You can say it's a cynical cash grab from Apple, but that definitely wasn't Jobs rational, and I don't believe it is Cook's either. 99% of people buy adaptors from 3rd parties, not Apple.
These days you can do just about everything you need over wifi or 3G/LTE anyway, so my adaptors are all gathering dust.
