Wait... why can't you do that anymore? I charge, drive 2 displays, and have several chargers and USB devices plugged in just via the 4 USB-C/Thunderbolt ports. Is your complaint the number of ports or the fact that they're USB-C? It sounds like the specific benefit was only the variety of ports unless I'm reading this wrong...

You may have missed the YubiKey and the wired network. :-)

I did not. You can still use those with a USB-C computer. I still don't see where the issue is.

Getting all of the together without needing a USB-C hub or dock.
