The X1 is a very expensive machine. <$200 phones will never support all of this, nor should they need to.

The dream kills cheap machines. The reality is that they will cut corners to compete on price, and who you gonna call?

My ASUS Chromebook Flip C302CA (released January 5th, 2017) supports this, so it's really a hardware support issue. Take into account that most devices that would benefit from USB C/Thunderbolt 3 only really began supporting it in (very) late 2018/beginning of 2019. Most consumer devices just don't have the right connectivity, but that's changing.
