It's just markup, you can get the same hubs (same exact hubs, I verified this by comparing the internals) from AliExpress for $20-50.

(Charge pass through, Ethernet, SD, microSD, USB Ports, HDMI 2.0 all in one adapters.)

Example links to a couple of the good ones?

The ones I bought were from "WarmSea" and "Dodocool" but I think buying whatever's cheapest and has the ports you need makes sense. It's just a USB hub after all.

The main issue is that a lot of USB-C stuff, even now several years in, is still flaky junk that doesn't work as advertised or lists the wrong features

If it's not as advertised and you pay with PayPal then you can get a refund fairly easily :)

Do they have the same shielding?
