Does anyone know of any multiport (3+ ports) usb-c hubs?

I'm talking about something like this:
HL9B2


Except all of those regular USB ports would all be USB-C.

I'm thinking of smaller portable hubs, not something like this from OWC, which is a larger desktop style hub:

owc-usb-c-dock-rear-space-gray


Even that only has two USB-C ports.

Do they exist, am I just missing them? If not, does anyone know why they don't? Is it a power (or other) issue that I don't understand?

Thanks.

You misread the picture. It has only one downstream USB-C port. The other USB-C port is the upstream port to the host computer.

I've not seen any with more than one USB-C downstream port, and all that I've seen strip the video off to go to the dedicated video ports. I have an inexpensive hub from Cable Creation (which I dislike, BTW) that provides VGA, 1 USB3, and one USB-C. The USB-C can be used as a downstream data port to connect to devices or as a connection to a USB-PD power supply to power the hub and the host computer.
 
I'm also looking for a multiple usb-c hub for my MacBook to use with a Samsung t5 ssd. I was looking through amazon but could not find one like I need.
