Regardless, most people aren't going to be plugging in three monitors into their laptops, so most people aren't going to care about this.
Even my crappy little Lenovo M600 with an N-series Celeron supports 3 displays. Two 4k ones fine. I didn't have a third to test it with.
It's either an architectural fuck up or intentional segmentation.
Do you think there is any chance that Apple would have had to make some engineering compromise (cost, performance, efficiency) for a feature that very few people would use?

Many people want portability, but also want to use external displays at home or at the office .
