Meanwhile my Intel i5 Macbook Pro 13" from Early 2020 which was around 1.8K when bought new in 2020 CAN DO IT! So it has been better in the past!

Apple downsized in regards to multi-monitor support so that you were forced to buy an M1...M3 Pro CPU which costs substantially more for only being able to drive more than one monitor.

A shame that they did not fix the clamshell mode on the basic M3 Macbook Pro yet.

Hopefully Apple wakes up with Qualcomm X Elite chips soon flooding the Windows laptop market (and they can all drive at least 3 external monitors).
