I was hoping with the introduction of USB-C the pro models might have a thunderbolt port and support a dex-style experience similar to stage manager on iPad os. More ram would have been helpful for that, but looks like I might not be getting what I dream of

Technically, yeah of course. Though I think that people rather use it on Apple’s larger devices like iPads and MacBooks. It’s not that convenient to use virtual machines on small screens (although I understand it can be useful in some specific scenarios).
I have a 14 Pro and can’t really think of a single time it didn’t do what it needed rapidly.
If it was getting marketed like one of the old windows phones that was a computer when docked (similar to the M processor iPads) then I could maybe bet it but honestly don’t feel it’s necessary.
It’s nice how iOS doesn’t need to play the specs game. Who cares how much RAM it has as long as it works well. Other platforms need to complete on specs. Apple does not.
When deciding on specifications, a vendor has to consider the requirements for the whole of its support lifecycle, not just year one. So Apple needs to be building a premium phone that will be functional for everything they have in the pipeline
