EDIT: but why no network port? Deal killer for me is that this doesnt support an ethernet connection too.

That's why it shows on Amazon 100 in and 85 out. Why is this important?
If you have say a Dell Latitude with a 65watt PSU, and you plug this into thinking pass-through, laptop will give you warning at boot that you are only providing low power at 40 watts. It's only partial.
In my case I have 100watt usb power also, so I can use that. Remember, you can go higher wattage on usb, just not lower. That means, plugging into a 60 Watt charger, when you only need 15 Watts is fine.

I've run my MacBook Pro 16" Max on 30W for days (as a test) and it was fine and w
It comes with a 140W, but my Thunderbolt dock only passes 85W, I'm rarely using that much power, if I am, I'll plug in the bigger charger.
If you're running your laptop at 100% power with a 30W charger, it's not going to keep it at 100% charge as 100% could be more than 30W, so it's going to hit the battery too. You don't want this as a permanent solution, but as a travel charger (assuming you're not on your laptop your whole vacation) something smaller works great.
Even with my old MacBook, I'd keep my MacBook Air charger in my bag instead of lugging around a bigger charger (which I rarely need to charge it when out anyways).
The Anker in OP has the brand name but instead has a headphone jack, whereas this gives back a USB C slot (not familiar with this brand though).
I got this Anker 7-in-1 back in Aug 2020 and still works. Paid $26.49 on sale. https://a.co/d/cQzYHhv
I got this ugreen 5-in-1 in May 2023 for a second location, this one is a lot smaller than my Anker and is the more portable of the two. I like it a lot, and is cheap, normally < $20.

I'd be comfortable getting any Anker or Ugreen at this point.
The Anker hub is used to connect a second monitor via hdmi, the Ugreen uses both the HDMI and a USB a to connect a portable monitor.
I ended up buying a wireless Logitech Bluetooth keyboard so I could pair it with the laptop directly rather than use a dongle.
Hope this helps. Super convenient to have two as I work in 2 different areas of the house and now only have a single USB-C to plug and unplug.
