I know there are several USB hub dongles that could be used in a similar manner, but what I’m looking for is something that occupies a single USB port and offers 3+ slots for SD and/or microSD cards, letting me browse them all from my computer. Are there any such products? I’m ok with buying off Aliexpress
I’m surprised how few options there are out there. I tried looking using the keywords “hub”," “dock”, and even " duplicator" but couldn’t find anything. Hopefully you don’t need to resort to getting a USB hub then just using USB adapters
I’ve never seen anything like this. The USB docking stations I have seen that have both SD and MicroSD slots often only allow the use of one slot at a time as they only have one SD controller. I honestly think the best answer is to get a 4 port USB 3.0 hub and 4 USB 3.0 microSD card readers. Any such product, should it exist, would just be this configuration internally most likely.
A few of them come up in Amazon when I search “multiple micro SD reader”
Maybe something like this? This can supposedly r/w from 8 cards simultaneously.

That’s a single slot card reader, I need something with more slots for (micro)sd cards, like a single usb stick with 4 slots for microSD cards, mounting all of them at once
The second link had 4 slots, but do you mean 4 slots of the same exact type?
do you mean 4 slots of the same exact type?
Yes. I already have one of those multi-type/universal card readers. That is not what I’m looking for. I need something with several identical slots, either for SD or microSD cards
One solution I’ve seen is using a bunch of those USB adapters and a powered multi-USB hub.
