Yes it should. Hardly anyone has USBc projectors. But they all have hdmi.

Is this really a problem, especially for anyone that has been using the latest Mac notebooks since 2016?

It is. That adapter (and every other) doesn’t support 4k @120 from a Mac…. HDMI 2.1 does. So if you have an LG OLED C1, and want to also use it as a Mac Monitor there is no way to connect it and not be hobbled. Not a huge deal to me right now, but a new MacBook Pro should last many many years. Sucks to start it off with an HDMI port from years ago.

HDMI 2.1 had a bandwidth speed of 48gb/s.  Thunderbolt tops out at 40gb/s.  The MBP most likely has four Thunderbolt/PCIe lanes and one of those lanes is used to share between the HDMI port and SD-Card port.  So it makes perfect sense why it's limited to HDMI 2.0

People whined and complained about getting back ports, and now that they do they still complain.

I can see people primarily using that port to connect to projectors, and TV's on a TEMPORARY basis.  Quite whining on a feature you may very likely never use on a laptop. 

I wouldn’t have whined. I’d be SO happy with a TB dongle that could fully support HDMI 2.1… but they don’t exist (for a Mac…yet)
