I've seen a lot of posts claiming just the opposite. You can't just take a setup designed for type-A ports and mechanically convert them to type-C, because that would allow you to make an A-to-A connection. But that's not a blocker for a properly-designed hub.

It's buried somewhere in the spec, using evasive wording.

I bet this is fully artificial limitation sneaked into the spec by people not wanting "stuff working without PCs"
