Logic board with 20 USB3 ports

USB-C is the connector. It can support various functionalities, including Thunderbolt 3, but you can't tell that from looking at the port or cable.

Also, I don't care about Thunderbolt 3. I don't have a single peripheral that supports it. What I do have is tens of devices that use USB, mostly 2.0.

That is not true for all designs. Apple would have no problem fitting USB-A ports in MacBook Pros.

False. That proves you have not looked at the current MB Pro design. You are also blithely assuming there is space inside the case to just randomly add backwards-compatible shit that we all need to move on from in order to enable and promote more capable interfaces.

If you have "tens of devices" you need to plug into your computer at once, then stop buying laptops or get a USB hub. This isn't complex. No laptop ever designed, in history, would allow you to plug in that much USB-A stuff at once without buying adapters or a hub, etc.

So stop bitching at Apple about irrelevant stuff that Apple isn't to blame for.
