You can't plug USB type C displays into hubs, they need to be connected directly. A display with a built in hub (like the thunderbolt display) is possible but doesn't yet exist. My imaginary scenario doesn't involve 4 external displays because the Intel chipset in the macbook can only drive 4 displays total, including the internal one.
...then you're the kind of person that has no problem plugging all of that stuff into a hub so that you only have one cable to connect.
It's a made-up problem with an easy solution that is arguably the only correct solution. If Apple put five ports on there, I suspect your imaginary scenario would then involve four displays.
