Isn't Thunderbolt superseded by USB 4 now (or whatever they'll call it)?

USB4 might incorporate some TB3 technology, but that doesn't mean that it will be fully compatible.

People who have already invested in TB3 (e.g. in a LG 5k screen) would certainly be happy to keep it supported.

Good to know, thanks. Luckily I never invested in such devices, since they were always Intel only.
