USB hubs split limited bandwidth among connected devices

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Plugging five devices into a single port guarantees they will all maliciously fight over the exact same sliver of bandwidth. The port on your computer has a hard physical limit on how much data can pass through it at once. Attaching a massive hub simply forces all your connected accessories to cram their signals through that single narrow pipe, ensuring every single device operates significantly worse than intended.
