Exactly, and this is why there are no USB-C hubs. Users (even technical users on Hacker News) keep asking for a "USB-C hub". What do you think they mean by that? "I want to plug in all my USB-C crap" or "I want to plug in all my USB-C crap, except video dongles and some[1] audio dongles" All the use cases for an everything-except-alt-mode USB-C hub are already met by existing USB-A hubs[2]. [1] "And please don't give me an easy way to tell which headphone dongles will work ahead of time. The surprise and anticipation of seeing whether it works makes every plug-in event feel like my birthday." [2] Okay, okay, you do need USB-C connectors for 20 Gbps USB bandwidth. But I've never actually seen a 20 Gbps USB host, device, or hub in the wild.
