Yes. There's a single USB-C. I can charge via that or the special

have one, but I don't use it. The video capable hub is terrible power
drain when on battery. I suspect it doesn't have the smarts to turn off
the video chips.)

Well, there is the relationship between the video hardware and the USB
hardware.

 That doesn't help explain why it's videos in youtube but not videos at
other websites. (There's a relationship between the CPU and the video
hardware and the USB hardware: They're all inside the case of the
Surface.)
 

I wrote a website that used a lot of javascript,.  Tested against Linux Firefox. I was in my local PC supplier, who is a friend and I said 'look at my new website'
His latest greatest Windows PC running MS browser promptly blue screened.

How software interacts with hardware is ...in many cases undefined until you go there.
But I still favour a whacky hub.
As to why, well I know more than enough about hardware to know such things can happen.
Like the computer that would corrupt precisely two bytes when copying from a floppy to a hard drive, with a third party card installed.
Change one thing at a time until it works.
