It’s not at all unreasonable for consumers to want a USB hub to function like “just give my computer more ports.” So no, it wouldn’t be unreasonable or idiotic

It’s not at all unreasonable for consumers to want a USB hub to function like “just give my computer more ports.” So no, it wouldn’t be unreasonable or idiotic to expect something that works plugged directly into your computer to also work when plugged into your computer via a hub. It is less reasonable for a consumer to expect that any chain of adapters or cables that uses multiple totally different types/generations of connector would still support every feature of the computer’s built-in port.
