> Plugging a charging cable into the camera itself feels incredibly cumbersome?
I've... never found this to be the case. Almost everything I have charges by USB-C. In particular, being able to charge the camera on the go with a battery in my backpack while I'm shooting is a huge feature for me. If I'm capturing video I already have the door open (or removed) and an external monitor/capture card plugged in, so there's nothing unusual about an extra cable.
I have multiple batteries, but I typically also use the grip to charge them via AC adapter so it's the same deal.
Do you always put your phone on the floor near a wall socket while you charge it? My phone wasn't too much cheaper than my camera, and I don't really concern myself with shorts/electrical damage when charging.
Besides, I don't really need multiple batteries (aside from the grip) because I can just use an external, portable, universal battery, of which I have several.
