hot take: USB 3 / USB type-C sucks. speeds over 1 Gbps? many motherboards only route PCI-e 3 x1 to the USB controller so nope Ethernet alternate mode? doesn't exist Thunderbolt alternate mode? exists but Thunderbolt chipsets are fucking unobtainium without public docs

I think we're just disagreeing over what Thunderbolt entails. I'm including host implementations/ecosystem, you just the minimal interface. Former is usually awful, latter I agree could be done well.
