If it works, why change it?

That's why it's so bizarre that people support losing the ability to plug in headphones on their smartphones because the 3.5mm jack is "old".

.....so?

Ethernet is too old.

Let's change the plug so it has no clip and can fall out easily.

IMO there should be a thin form factor standard for ethernet, plenty of devices would benefit from it which is pretty apparent given how many thin devices don't have ethernet; I would not mind using an adapter for it if it meant more devices had ethernet.
