Question about HP Thunderbolt G4 Dock

Is it possible that the product description has an error? When I compare the device with the cheaper HP Thunderbolt G4 Dock (https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/product/hp-thunderbolt-g4-dock-thunderbolt-docking-stations-usb-hub-21359395), Digitec says that the uplink to the PC is Thunderbolt on this product and USB-C on the other. But when I look at the product code at HP, I only see 2 small differences: 1) Maximum charging power via USB-C is 230W on this unit, 100W on the other. 2) This item can power a notebook via an HP power connector, and via USB-C. Left: HP Thunderbolt G4 Dock 280W: https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-thunderbolt-dock-280w-g4-dock-w-combo-cable#techSpecs (equivalent to this item) HP Thunderbolt G4 Dock 120W: https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-thunderbolt-dock-120w-g4#techSpecs (corresponds to this Digitec item: https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/product/hp-thunderbolt-g4-dock-thunderbolt-docking-stations-usb-hub-21359395)

I am not quite sure which product you are comparing this one with. The listed links in the Digitec Shop always lead to the product here.
You may be referring to this comparison:

In that case, the difference is really only the power. USB-C refers to the design of the connector, while Thunderbolt (2, 3, 4) refers to the different standards used to transfer data or power. Both docks have a Thunderbolt 4 connector in the USB-C design.
