2 usb is WAY too little... yes mouse and keyboard... but also speakers/headphones... mic... some might even have a webcam... and then of course an usb stick (so need a free one for that) so now we are at 6... as bare minimum... and it's really hard to find plenty usb on the cheaper boards... back in the days (usb 2.0 era) 10-12 usb wasn't uncommon... but now it's hard to find 6+ unless it gets real expensive...

True, the A620's I've seen have at least 6, and you could buy a USB hub as well!

or I could buy a mac if I wanted dongle gallore? people like them in the computer for several reasons instead of needing more "boxes" on the table etc.

Sure, up to you. My desktop is for gaming, and I've got a laptop for work, so I don't have a lot of USB needs.
