Can you connect PCI-E devices to USB 4? That feels like the only useful feature of Thunderbolt imo.

Yes. The full USB-4 spec has that.

That being said: thunderbolt is still great for verification. If it says thunderbolt you exactly know what it can do and that it should work as expected. USB-4 will be plastered on anything that can do only plain usb4 speeds.
