Why not allow both? We're both speculating, but they gain nothing by removing USB-C charging and then can sell Apple branded battery packs down the road or at least say they support it. Tim Cook's apple seems more open to playing nicely with others.
Magsafe was awesome. Everyone loved it. It worked precisely as designed, produced less wear and tear from daily proper usage, and has saved MANY laptops. Not only was it effective, it just 'felt' cool to hear that snap when you got the cable close enough

Never heard anyone saying his laptop broke because of lack of magsafe. Never.

Can't argue with you here. Typical Apple user I guess. The real reason to use Apple is because of how it feels. It doesn't matter how crappy or overpriced the product is, as long as it feels good.
The real reason to use a Mac is: it runs Unix out of the box.
99% of Apple users couldn't care less about Unix and never use the terminal on their Mac. Not sure there is even one on iOS, or anything left from Unix accessible to the end user.

Your iOS critics you could extend to Android.
Most if not all laptop/desktop users I know, actually do use the terminal. And that again, actually, has nothing to do with unix or not.
Macs run on Unix, so do basically all Apple devices, even the watches. No idea what there is to argue about.

I was not criticizing iOS. I was criticizing your claim that the "real reason to use a Mac" is because it runs Unix.
Newflash : nobody buys an Android because it runs Linux is also true.

No idea about android users, I guess many simply try to find a phone with good price/performance ratio. However many are moving to true linux phones.

No, it isn't. Most Apple users don't even know what Unix is.

what's your point? Yes, most people know what Windows is and most people do not know what Unix is. And this is also true for Apple users.
