Isn't the point of an aviator style cable to let you easily unplug and reconnect multiple keyboards? So why do the drops never offer additional keyboard side connectors?

DoubleTap+1 These should really be sold separately. Also, usb-c option on both ends would be good.

FirstOneMany keyboards don't accept USB-C to USB-C connections. I'm fairly sure the drop keyboards like ALT/CNTRL can't use USB-C to USB-C as far as connection to your PC since the stock cable is a USB-A 3.0 to USB-C 2.0 cable. (And there are way too many different names and differences in cables that use the physical USB-C connection (Thunderbolt 3 port/Display port which is a USB-C connection if I recall correctly, which can do audio/up to like 8k video and 40gbps transfer rate but can look identical to a USB-C 2.0 to USB-C 2.0 cable) then the whole annoyingly stupid name scheme with USB 3.0. (USB 3.0 is also the EXACT same thing as USB 3.1 Gen1, and is ALSO the exact same thing as USB 3.2 Gen 1......3.2 Gen 1 being the newest name scheme for USB 3.0 (5gb/s). Just like USB 3.1 Gen 2 is the EXACT same thing as USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10gb/s). This is why we still have new keyboard PCBs being made with miniUsB ports as you could fry a keyboard easily as so many different cables with major differences all use the USB-C connection.

PhlookeUSB standard isn’t the issue here, it’s that so many companies attempt to subvert it. Nintendo comes to mind rather strongly. If they built the standard usb-c connection and port to use what they want exactly it would be fine. But there are quite a lot of pins in a usb-c connector and to many companies want to use different pins for different things rather then their original “standard” purpose.

PhlookeHow's USB-C to USB-C cable different from USB-C to USB-A and using USB-C hub or an adapter? Is it just because C can be plugged in "upside down" and keyboard doesn't support this? Or is there something else? At the end of the day keyboard doesn't need multitude of different capabilities of super high speed transfer. I think USB-A port has 4 wires.
