Im more interested in usb4 featurefulness as well! It has so much that helps simplify & universalize how devices connect. Being able to share data & video instead of have dedicated lanes eases a lot of compatibility burdens. The lack of usb-c hubs for usb3 is glaring & because this was a nightmare of lane juggling- usb's packet switching is fundamentally much more sound & should open up the peripherals availae. Being able to direct connect to a other computer at 40Gbps should reshape our expectations for connecting. in terms of what we are missing, the irony to me is we have it: wifi-p2p, & wifi aware! being able to adhoc talk & communicate with each other is doable with the hardware we have, but monopolized by jank, locked down, centralized top down shitmongers, which radically limits our ability to explore & own the last 0 mile of the connectivity chain: what we can do shoulder to shoulder. tech's already in devices we just dont use it! Thunderbolt being just a small add, as opposed to something quite special, is awesome & could change things a lot. Sure, i like many of your asks! I really like the idea of a usb-c power economy of devices. I think there's a lot of folks anticipating this kind of break open power interconnectivity. Just a matter of time for these power banks & panels to start being more power based.
