All I know is my 2018 15" MBP is flaky as heck plugging in docks, monitors, keyboards, etc.. through the various USB-C dongles & docks. It almost never just plugs in and everything works. Sometimes you have to plug/unplug more than once, sometimes you have to wake/sleep the laptop, sometimes the Mac kernel panics. I have 2 docks at home and have gone through 2 at work that cost as much as $300-400 (OWC and similar) and it's just flaky no matter what. How do you blame the adapters, docks, whatever when some of them cost as much as a chromebook or a cheap windows laptop? All these dongles and adapters used to not even be required, something's really wrong when they cost as much as another machine and you still can't get things working as well as they worked in the past. Realistically I had less trouble docking my Windows laptop in the late 90s than I do with this MBP. That would have been with 1 monitor instead of 2 but otherwise all the same peripherals. The only other USB-C device we have is a switch.. we've never tried to use it with anything but the nintendo chargers/devices so I guess we've just been lucky.
