That and I think you've got some things muddled. Unless something has fundamentally changed which I don't think is the case, you've never been able to connect a Thunderbolt enclosure to a USB port and have it work. I doubt this has changed with Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 4 enclosures.
Ah yes, I guess the confusion comes in that TB4 and USB4 are practically and functionally the same for some devices, i.e. the OWC case I linked to, which it looks like is technically a USB 4 case, that's TB4 (and 3) compatible, but runs at full speed on TB4 (and "USB speed" on TB3).
