Why ASUS? Why is the IO on this board so lackluster for a nearly 500 dollar board....

The ASUS ROG Strix Z790-I Gaming WiFi 6E motherboard features several innovations designed to enhance user experience, including the ROG Strix Hive, which moves overclocking controls and connectivity to the desktop, and the ROG FPS-II Card, which vertically mounts USB and SATA ports for a better building experience. Despite this, the board aims to provide high performance with features like a 10+1 power solution, optimized VRM thermals, and multi-layer M.2 stack for efficient thermal management.
