If I need any of those I simply set the machine to network-boot. I have all of those and more available as network boot images on my LAN.

Alternatively I can simply log in to the IPMI interface on any of my machines and attach the disk image as a virtual drive and boot it from that. No need to even physically go to the machine as all my x86 machines use server-grade hardware with remote management capabilities.

Those are not things all motherboard support, and the whole discussion stemed from laptop ports, do any consumer laptop (or any laptop at all) have IPMI?

As for PXE boot, doesn't this one relies on the existence of a rj45 port on the target machine? Did you believe a laptop that replaced every port with usb-c somehow still had one of those?
