Well up until late last year or so, Thunderbolt was an Intel only thing. They then released it to the USB consortium and USB4 is an extension of Thunderbolt. So this motherboard the OP used is probably one of the first ones with USB4 compat.

I expect a lot more AMD mobos to support thunderbolt in the next year. Music producers especially really like the interface for it's low latency and bandwidth, and Ryzen would be an awesome pairing for the resource hungry applications they tend to gravitate towards.
