I personally believe VirtualLink is dead. Its use case (four-lane DisplayPort and USB 3.x at the same time) is also met by USB4, which I believe will be more widely implemented. However, I also believe that the VirtualLink trick of repurposing the USB 2.0 pins will end up being used by a future USB standard for two more lanes of USB4, gaining 50% more speed without reducing even more the maximum cable length.
