> USB-C hubs don't exist

What do you mean? A quick search returns several options. Personally I have an all-in-one USB-C to HDMI/SD/USB-A/headphone/etc dock dongle thing, and it covers my needs.

There are a bunch of options for this, some more flexible than others, but options nonetheless.

I meant one USB-C to many USB-C

If it is a thunderbolt USB-C, then they do. I had a thunderbolt 3 dock for my older macbook, and it essentially connected with just one cable to macbook, which provided charging+external display (or two) connection+a few extra USB ports (a couple of which were usb-C)+headphone jack+SD card reader (and maybe a few other things I cannot recall off the top of my head).

Not sure if something like this would work on non Apple hardware: Satechi 4-Port USB-C Hub - https://amzn.eu/d/6a85dgf

I have a Dell XPS 2in1 from 2019 which only has 2 USB-C ports, however, I'm using a thunderbolt dock so I get a USB-C port back and a USB-C display port output on the back, have never tried connecting a device to it to though.

Anker also have some hubs with one USB-C input and one PD.
