Why do USB-C hubs still have USB 2.0 ports? (2021)
Relatedly, why can't I get a simple USB-C hub?  I have four USB-C ports on my laptop and I need six.  Back in the USB-A days, I'd just get a $30 hub and four new full speed ports at the cost of one on the laptop.<p>But now if I want three more full speed ports, I have to get a four port dock/hub that costs $179 and has to get plugged into the wall.<p>Am I not looking correctly or is there some technical limitation I'm not aware of or ...?<p>Edit:  It seems like the consensus is basically "people wouldn't read the specs", which is a fair criticism.  USB-C supports so many different types of devices that it would be impossible to make one that supports them all, and if you support a subset people would get mad that their device isn't in that subset.
