How can it be the "same standard" if 1 Thunderbolt 4 port's bandwidth is split into 3 TB4 ports? The devices will operate at reduced speeds, won't they as the bandwidth gets split?

Hub, not dock.

Only if they are all under load at once. Each port gets access to the full bandwidth unless it's being used by a device connected to the other ports. And it's reasonably rare for that to happen. (You obviously don't want to connect your eGPU dock through a hub.)
