News Plugable Launches Quad-Monitor Thunderbolt 4 Dock

Why on Earth would you put the host port on the front opposite of where all of the rest of your permanent cords go? I don't understand why they didn't swap the host port with the USB-C PD port. People are way more likely to plug things in and out of that than the host port when used on a desk.

Maybe the concept is it's coming off the laptop and going back to the dock? as in you could have a short 1-2 ft cable? but mostly if I have 4 displays, the laptop is closed over on the side and a rear port is much prefered
