Docks are just for transitioning.

If/when all devices use USB-C you just plug your first monitor in and then use it's USB-C hub to connect all other devices.

Not just if/when, even before all devices use USB-C. My monitor is where I plug in USB-A devices, like USB sticks.

"When laptops use USB-C" is sufficient criteria, and that's already true.

Said differently, good monitors are docks these days.
