USB4 is more than just "renamed Thunderbolt 3". It adds USB 3.x tunneling while Thunderbolt 3 could only tunnel PCIe and DisplayPort (AFAIK, it faked USB 3.x tunneling by having a PCIe USB 3.x host on the device).

so USB4/neo-Thunderbolt is going to be the true universal connector? Does it still have a "mess" of different levels or protocols?

I'm hoping the thunderbolt 3 devices I have will "just work" with usb4 ports.

It's backward compatible, so it will.
