Magsafe 3 Pain

I was excited to see they'd got rid of the touch bar on the new Macbook Pros, couldn't wait to get one, but now am very disappointed to see they've gone back to a proprietary power connector.

Our office is set up with usb-c cables so we could just plug our Macbook Pros straight in and use the screens, keyboard and mouse that are set up on each desk. The new Macbooks have gone back to the Magsafe connector (ughh) so now I'm looking for some kind of female usb-c to Magsafe 3 adapter. Anyone seen such a thing? Or can we still just run off usb-c and forget about Magsafe altogether?

The newest MacBook pro models can be charged with MagSafe-3. But wait, there's more!

They can also be charged with USB-C power delivery, implemented by many display makers and other peripheral makers.

MagSafe-3 is an Option, not a requirement.
