Nope, not even close. Plenty of margin in the platform itself. The real money is in the App store. The accessories are only for people who need them, which is apparently everyone on the forum needs every port imaginable. Most people don't need any. If you want to use a USB device for backup or restoring, run it off battery. With an SSD it will take under 30 minutes to backup or restore 200GBs.
If that doesn't work for you, then this isn't the laptop for your needs.
