Money, it’s hard to beat a barrel jack when it comes to economies of scale

And durability.

I have a not-that-old work laptop with a single usb-c charge port (for the dock) and the connection sucks. Thankfully that one also has a barrel port for power only.
I hate that my new one is usb-c only. I’m moving between locations often enough that long-term durability is a concern having to plug/unplug that one all the time. I’d much rather it was an extra few mm thicker and have a charge port I’ll never have to worry about.
