Then stop buying Apple. That is the only voice they will hear.
The hub itself will function as a hub without additional power (it will grab what it needs from the computer). If you plugged the hub in (say, the charging adapter that comes with a laptop), then it will passthrough 60w to charge the laptop. This is particularly helpful for those with only one USB-C port on the laptop, or if they wanted to minimize the wires on the desk.
no there aren't. only few usbc to hdmi dongles (not hubs) can do 4k@60hz at this price.

Is there a separate PD usb-c port, distinct from the usb-c cable shown in the pics? Is it possible to power the hub from a usb-c wall charger connected to the PD port, which would then charge a laptop connected to the pictured USB-C cable?
Will this work for my middle schooler's chrome book? I want to add a second display and keep the laptop plugged in. C-book only has one USB c port that is used for charging.

Depends on whether that C port can do video out. It's confusing, but there are plain C ports that just do data and power, ports that can do video out, and some (ThunderBolt) that can do multiple monitors and even hook up an external GPU.

Curious to know if they come in this form factor with multiple ports? I was able to find 4k60 only as a dedicated hdmi dongle.
I couldn't find any cheaper.
It definitely seems like usb-c hubs are finally reaching the pricing of usb-type a....
Definitely and more reliable also.
