That seems seriously limiting by Apple, not just from the point of view of a naive customer (i.e. me), but also from their point of view in terms of selling displays to a broader market (i.e all PC user who may like to give the impression of using a Mac).
Is there any hope of a product coming out that could bridge that divide or is it a matter of selling the monitor and buying a non-Apple one?
Thanks for your replies btw. I appreciate them.

The new MacBook has USB-C and no Thunderbolt, so there is hope for a new non-Thunderbolt Apple display.
