Plus the 'dongle' would allow streaming to a USB/DAC. Think it likely that Apple, and to a lesser extent Microsoft, expect most users to be attaching their computers to peripheral devices via Bluetooth and WiFi networks, both at work and at home.
Besides, most audiophiles will eventually end up using their laptop (or tablet or phone) as little more than a control for a network streamer of some kind anyway, as soon as pricing for these devices bottom out. I don't think the recent popularity of the late lamented Logitech Squeezebox technology was some kind of a fluke.
Speaking only for myself, I would more likely upgrade from my current MacBook Air to the 13in Retina MacBook Pro.
Currently streaming TIDAL to my main system to a Marantz NA-7004 using AirPlay. The new Apple MacBook wouldn't change that at all that I can see.
