"Why can't I find a USB-C hub with multiple USB-C ports?"
Yes, my girlfriend works with a 2 TB port macbook pro and has a dock like this: https://www.webhallen.com/se/product/313438-ALOGIC-USB-C-Doc...
She uses it with a USB keyboard/mouse and PS4 controller and an external 1440p screen.. works without issue.
That appears to only have a single C port.
It's a strange thing, you can get these super complicated docking stations with all sorts of different ports, but can't get a 4-port hub that's only usb-c connectors.
At least neither tzs nor I have found such hubs.
Googling “usb-c to usb-c multiport hub” gives me plenty of hits, for example https://www.sitecom.com/en/usb-c-hub-4-port/cn-386/p/1881: “Turn your USB-C port into 3 ultrafast USB-C ports and 1 USB-C Power Delivery Port”
Oh wow, thanks for that link, I have never come across that!
Also, when I google with your phrase, there are no hits like that on the first page. I wonder if google is customizing my searches away from what I want...

The CalDigit TS3 Plus Dock has two USB-C ports and one Thunderbolt 3 port, not counting the port for the computer itself. [0]
(To be clear, USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 ports have the same form factor and Thunderbolt 3 is downwards compatible with USB-C.)
This is the only way you can end up with >1 USB-C port, afaik. It's not currently possible to split USB-C like USB-A, so the only way you can get a second USB-C port is if you have a Mac and use a Thunderbolt dock.
This one works great but it gets hot as hell and if you want to use the USB hookups to charge devices, forget it, they only offer a trickle of charge
Completely misread your original comment, I apologise.
You are right, I do not see them.. I wonder if that's for a particular reason. :\

Doesn’t this still only have one usb-c?
Are their hubs yet that can turn one USB C port into several? Or do they still only turn one USB C port into several USB A ports?
A couple years ago what I read was that the hold up was that this required more complicated chipsets that would not be available for a few months and would be expensive. More recently, I've read that this won't happen until USB4.
