Hi, I like your musings. IIRC Macbook Pro uses Magsafe because of USB-C power limitations and because we the consumers asked for magsafe to return. https://9to5mac.com/2021/10/19/16-inch-macbook-pro-charger-limitation/. Load up Aldente Pro, run a heavy workload powered by USB-C and watch power draw leach from the battery to fill the gap.

What are your recommendations for avoiding damage to the port?
Thank you for the link to the USB-C to barrel-connector adapter. I have boxes of old power supplies which will see the inside of an e-waste bin now.
