Those aren't workarounds. The whole point of 3-4 USB-C/Thunderbolt ports is that you can do anything you can do things like plug a docking station into it via one port and do power, display, USB ports, etc off that one cable.

But instead every screams about dongles.

I'm not sure what you mean. I used to have all the ports I needed without a docking station.

The whole point is having the option, yes. But it makes no sense in having only USB-C ports and nothing else. Apple seems to agree, they added a couple ports back in the M2 Macbooks.

Quality Thunderbolt 4 hubs cost about $150-500, which is fine if I need to extend the selection of ports at my desk, but there's no point in having everything on one USB-C port just because it's technically possible.
