But it offers exactly things like allocating some lanes to DisplayPort.

The unfortunate thing is that Thunderbolt was created, and instead of a simple way to make PCIe external, we have this Intel-created mess that tunnels PCIe over some cursed "MPLS-like network" or whatever it is. And it was completely Intel-proprietary until recently. At least now the spec is open.

The spec is still not open, as far as I can tell. The TB4 mode of USB4 appears to still be proprietary.

Well, sorry, wrong word. Not public open, but no longer Intel-exclusive.
