(why are there no “real” USB-C hubs? some say that it is due to the lack of the existence of a chip that Intel is going to release "any time now" for like a year now… others say that the power delivery requirements of USB-C make this really tricky)

USB-C hubs are on their way. A couple of IC makers now have parts supporting that, so products using them are in the development pipeline: http://www.genesyslogic.com/en/product_view.php?show=69
I'm actually currently developing one as well that has a unique twist to it.

Cool. It’s about time. After getting a MacBook Pro 2019 I was pretty surprised to find out there are no real USB hubs out there.

Can't wait to see it! I'd love to be on your announcement list.

There seem to be several devices that offer two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports. That's pretty inefficient but at least it gets you more ports.

You're pretty screwed if you want a 4 port hub, yes.
