Nice point! Thanks.

What I also am curious though is why PCIe-based USB-C/Thunderbolt controller cards have so little (usually just one, some have two) numbers of ports? In the worst case (e.g. if it's extremely hard/expensive to produce a controller chip to support multiple independent ports) I would at least augment such cards with on-board hubs to turn one port into more so a user wouldn't need to attach an external hub.

In fact I have never seen a computer (neither laptop nor desktop) with more than 2 USB-C ports. This makes me feel like USB-C just has failed to become anything much more than a Micro-USB successor. Everything (incl. keyboards, mice and printers) going USB-C is probably never going to happen, is it?
