When you're talking about power around the 16:00 mark, there's some misinformation here. Yes USB is 5V but volts is not power. Power (Watts) is Volts * Amps. 5V at the current that USB can provide is plenty to drive a few line-level channels. I am an electronics engineer, and a SW engineer that worked on USB devices. If you want any clarification or further explanation, just ask.
Edit: I apologise, I think the word 'misinformation' is too strong, replace with 'inaccuracy' or 'misunderstanding' maybe.

I think you misunderstood something about thunderbolt. => it's an active standard that is being used and very useful. What you were thinking about was Thunderbolt 2, which is on the way out, but Thunderbolt 3 and 4 use the usb c plug and are superior to usb c. It's a bit confusing with all the standards, but for professional use, I would rather have a thunderbolt connection than a USB one.

I have gone thru at leat 4 from cheap to mixer to finally be happy with mine, Presonous AR12, tho they did release some new models that would have suited me too, maybe for a next update

Or you just buy an Arturia 16RIG and get all of your questions covered in one piece.
By acquiring each type of hardware piece by piece in your setup, you can effectively manage the grow against your budget.
But with Focusrite, you'll have to get everything powered at all time. Sometimes, even with the computer on (found out that the hard way, bye focusrite).
The recent hardwares allow both Dawless and assisted workflows. A game changer.

stay away from Audient. the volume knob on mine got faulty not long after i bought it. the volume goes up by just touching the knob. they offered repairing but i had to send it and left me with no audio interface for two weeks or so.
