If we can connect SSDs directly to the PCIe bus... why are there no cute little Thunderbolt flash drives that run at full NVMe speed?

Windows has had astoundingly bad Thunderbolt hot-plug support given that ExpressCard and CardBus existed. NVMe support for non-Apple SSDs under OS X can be problematic. Thunderbolt PHYs are expensive. USB 3.0 is fast enough for now, and USB 3.1 exists.
