If you're looking for smart USB Hubs, these are pretty good https://www.cambrionix.com/

We're using the "PowerPad" hubs for mobile device hosting. Each of the ports on the USB hub will detect the device and deliver its fastest possible charge.

Isn't that how standard USB is supposed to work?

Many consumer-grade USB hubs ([1] for example) will only deliver their full power (or full cleverness - e.g. negotiating certain protocols like Quick Charge) on a subset of ports, so advertising that these hubs will provide their full power output on every port makes sense.
