Thunderbolt certification is considerably harder to attain than simply USB, so thunderbolt products generally are of better quality but more expensive.
If you don't care about the waste, I'd suggest going shopping on AliExpress with $10. The (USB) hubs you'll find won't be of good quality, but they won't be that much worse than the ones that sell on Amazon for $50+
