I find the list of things they won’t miss to be strange. I am not opposed to legitimate criticism of Apple’s hardware/software offerings, but I felt like they were kind of reaching to find things they didn’t like.

.DS_Store files? The startup chord? The dock?

These are all incredibly minor things. This read more like an attempt to justify a purchase than any kind of actual comparison or analysis.

As an aside, I may be totally alone here, but I never plug anything into my laptop with the obvious exception of a charger. I don’t need more ports and I don’t see them as a selling point. That said, I can easily imagine different use cases where they’d be useful.
