no, I don't mind...

However, I understand that some robotics projects I'd like to take up require a serial port, so I think I'll have to get an adapter to plug into my USB port...

The serial port and parallel port is all about the classic issue where you put something on the machine to support less than 1 in 10 buyers. What we may see going from now on is less need for CD/DVD, ethernet and such since many just need the Wifi connection to do what they are doing.
The summation and question becomes "Why make everyone buy features they don't need?"
I agree... so what's next to go...
