I just knew that this — like every — article about USB-C hubs wouldn’t mention a single USB-C hub.

A hub is an accessory that turns one port into several of the same kind. Everyone understood this back in the USB-A days.

What this article discusses are port replicators. You might wanna call them docks although a pedant might take issue with that.

To the best of my knowledge, six freakin years after USB-C came to the market, there are no real USB-C hubs available. Some Thunderbolt hubs, but not simple USB-C.
