> Type-C hubs are annoyingly expensive, because they all assume you want all the USB 3.x speed and/or power delivery bells and whistles - but for connecting simple peripherals none of that is necessary.

Meanwhile the most frequent complaint I read about USB-C is trickster/confusing cables or hubs because they don’t support everything

My theory is that's why it's so hard to buy a "featureless" hub - consumers will demand refunds if feature X is not present.
I have more trouble using Amazon's useless filters or finding products that even try to be more specific than just "USB-C".
