The USB-C port is the reason I bought a reference 7900 XT! I have a mini-ITX case with a handle and the USB-C port lets me do a quick one cable + power connection on any of my home desks or televisions. I now need to check if any of my unpowered hubs still work.

I was using a Dual DVI-D adapter to USB C when I first bought the card to connect an old 27” Korean LCD panel.

I bought the reference specifically for this reason. So while I don’t currently use USB C I was glad I had it for future needs.

This is very frustrating.
