They're supported actually, Type C allows hubs and chaining, and Apple already has two splitters (HDMI/Type C/Type A and VGA/Type C/Type A) for sale.

They're way too expensive ($80), but give Type C is a standard port I expect Amazon Essentials or Monoprice will fix that pretty soon.

And I expect Apple will make sure those don't work, just like they did with generic Lightning cables.

They couldn't use the USB trademark if they broke compatibility with other USB-certified products.

They own Lightning themselves so they can do whatever they want there.
