PCIe switches used to be far more common before certain things happened in the market and they became uber-expensive. I have a few NICs where, instead of using multi-port controllers, they just used PCIe switches... arguably I/O hubs have probably been the cheapest PCIe switches around for some time now...

Still haven't found anything compelling for PCIe4 but for PCIe3, I had no issues so far with 10Gtek, which are reasonably priced.
