Any hub actually worth using (Thunderbolt ports, high enough charging wattage, dual displays, 2.5Gb Ethernet) will run you like $300-$400, which is almost half the price of the Macbook. I'd rather have a couple more ports on the device.

But if the extra usb-c port is taken up by a charger what's the benefit?

Also the air physically can't accomodate USB-A, ethernet, hdmi etc.

You're not charging your laptop 100% of the time. The Air runs like 12 hours or more on a single charge. A Magsafe port is useless all that time.
