I never used a dongle before I got this 16" MacBook Pro with which I need to use a USB-C to USB adapter, so I don't know if earlier Macs suffer from the same issue, namely that the two USB-C ports are so close together that if you've got a dongle plugged into each of them there's no obvious way to unplug either of them without picking the MBP up and maneuvering it to grip the dongle on its top and bottom, which is a giant PIA, invites accidents, and is jut plain ROTTEN design.

Am I really supposed to pull on the extremely difficult to grasp thingy that protects the cord? Is there a some sort of 3rd party tool? Anything?

And in a similar vein, USB-C, Lightning, et. al. (?) connectors are so small that under any circumstances, they could REALLY use some texturing to make them easier to grip.
