This seems like the fix for dongle hell to me. You plug everything into your monitor, tucking your cables away nicely, and then you have a single cable going from your monitor into your laptop.

Most monitors do this now with a USB hub, except you have two cables (video and usb).

Too bad USB-C didn't also do microphone in.

Can't you just use USB microphones?

Small sample size and all, but I find USB microphones to be rather susceptible to electrical noise from stuff like USB hubs. I have to plug them directly into my machines to get a clean signal.

Probably better to use a USB microphone instead of integrated sound card A/D anyway...
