I not so secretly wonder what a 2027 looks like when SBC all have to have USB4, when USB4 hub chips (actually, routers) are semi-commodity parts and not uber-botique Intel crazy-pants expensive units, and when Thunderbolt/PCIe is a logical royalty-free step away. We're only just seeing Thunderbolt show up in mobile, via the IPad Pro. The percolation down of the universal, good, flexible, kick-ass connectivity standards is semi-inevitable. Right now it's a ton of add-on extra chips, but that will go away, will get integrated. These discrepancies of PC chips having some things and mobile parts having totally different specs feels like it can't last forever, at least in every category. There will be some uptake of common capabilities.
