Maybe someone doesn't have room for another monitor, or the other machine is rarely accessed locally..
I'm not saying this is some crazy new novel ideal, but I'm not against additional functionality for existing technology.

Indeed,...

on a basic level I have no issue with the functionality.

My issue is with Intel's history of playing keep away with Thunderbolt in general. For example, Intel graphics was a requirement so those of us on LGA2011, 2011-2 ect were s#!t out of luck. Apple releases the 2013 Mac Pro and all of a sudden the requirement of Intel graphics magically goes away,.....but you still need an intel CPU. Then Apple release the M1 (ARM) and guess what!?! That's right, you no longer need an Intel CPU for Thunderbolt support. Imagine that!!!

On the PC side Intel disallowed lower end platforms support for Thunderbolt. Still if an OEM asked real nice it might happen. I think QNAP had a Thunderbolt supporting NAS that used a Celeron,..... I mean,... Come on!!!
