Jobs did not let this kind of industrial design mistake happen for a reason.
He wanted Apple to be way better than everyone else. I cannot imagine even the fools at Microsoft, Dell and HP doing anything this overtly mechanically ugly and they came up with some doozies over the year.
I don't agree with all of his decisions but I think these charging solutions are hideous looking and a bad bad compromise in industrial design and hurts years of reputation for mostly great industrial design.
The removal of mag safe charger in the new MacBook and the single USB C port for charging and everything else so any serious user HAS TO BUY A HUB if they use any external device (I have 2-3 at any given moment on my MacBook Pro Retina) and want to be plugged in while using the device.
These things are sign that no one in management is going to stand up to bad decisions the teams make, and the teams now can compromise and ship some things that can ruin a reputation Jobs spent 2-3 decades building in great industrial design decisions. Getting sloppy when MS has produced Surface Pro and Surface Book seems risky. Apple needs to continue to lead, not trail and fail, in industrial design issues to keep their reputation. This needs to be fixed next version or Apple's lead in industrial design is no longer a competitive factor as these kind of horrible decisions creep into important products.
Jobs made mistakes too but nothing this overtly ugly and obvious. If anything he erred in appearance over substance. But to the delight of Apple users.

I think that many people feel the need to complain about something, so they look only until they see something that they imagine is a problem.
