I'm guessing they're all just behind an internal hub.

The x870e chipset only provides 2 20gbit ports (type c only) 12 10gbit and 2 5gbit ports. No idea how the USB 4 ports fit into the equation, but I think the 2 are mandatory.

Yes, I really wondered what the advantage of putting all these ports on the mobo instead of just using external powered hubs.
