Aren't all USB-C hubs with PD "powered"? Like, some output more power to other ports when fed with a power source?
For example, I have two Anker hubs, one USB-C with USB-A ports and an unpowered USB-A hub. To get enough power to use the USB-A hub for anything more than basic input devices when connected to the USB-C hub, I have to run a powered connection through the PD port on the USB-C hub.

Anker's best offering in this category runs for $150 and only has 3 USB-C ports (which share a combined 240W limit—good enough for most applications but still not the full PD 3.0 limit of 100W per port, and nowhere near the PD 3.1 limits). A true "power strip" offering 5 or more high-power USB-PD Type-C ports would be nice, though it would need the equivalent of a pretty beefy PC's power supply to drive many simultaneous loads at those limits.
