The most important part of my comment is "and wouldn't be better served by actually pluging a laptop to a monitor" and your reply about cable unplugging (really?) lets me think you know it is.

I am not even commenting about the ecological disaster than gluing all this together is because, well, it's Apple and Apple never cared anyway. Still disappointing.

Yes. Lots of people don’t need nor want this. Getting two things to work together is more complicated than one.
