The unstated is that the core problem here (lack of USB2 on a USB3 connector) is _NOT_ standard. This is generally only a problem on the plethera of shit arm/etc SoCs using garbage IP where the vendor is only interested in checking a box, than actually providing a working/compliant implementation of the specification.

Part two of this problem are the USB2 implementations that don't provide USB1 Transaction Translators (TT), so keyboards/etc won't work.

And as a 3rd note, the Pi4 actually has good USB3 because its implemented by a 3rd party XHCI controller like one might find on a random PCIe card. Combined with a usb3 hub with multiple TT's it should be possible to attach a number of SDR's etc at reasonable rates. Good luck figuring this out from the usb3 hub details unless it lists the chip its using.
