They have a magsafe port and come with a MagSafe cable (which is USB -> MagSafe) but they charge just fine with usb-c. I can’t remember when I last used my MagSafe cable (I think it’s in a box somewhere) because it normally charges while docked and it makes more sense to carry an USB cable on the go.
The person said they were forced by necessity to move the MacBooks to USB-C in 2015 and brought up Lightning as the reason. That’s not even remotely accurate. I don’t see how anything is relevant after that. USB-C as the only ports on laptops was never a necessity, it was a choice they made, which they have since rolled back, further showing it wasn’t a necessity. Having the option to also use USB-C to charge doesn’t mean anything. And as I recall, USB-C is slightly underpowered for charging the high end laptops, so if they were working hard on USB-C, there would be some battery train to cover the gap. Not exactly a selling point for a power delivery system.
