Active vs Passive Hub / dock

So I have 2 usb-c hubs.
Never noticed but the cheaper one does not make MacBook Air recognise the keyboard when attached through it.

The expensive Belkin one works fine. It is not clear exactly why.

Seems like the expensive one's specifically having PD (power delivery) can identify an external keyboard is connected & relays that to the MacBook.

Looks like these are called active hubs & supposedly have a chip in them?
