Software control USB power on some USB hubs
What? They list several hubs that work, I guess you could buy any of these.

I2c-USB-hub: An i2C Controllable USB 2.0 Hub
I wonder if it supports software control? I haven’t messed with this in a long long time, but here’s a C program for controlling USB port power via software.
It works on a pretty limited set of hubs, because most cheap out on including the switches.

Kb2040 and usb hub not seeing all of my boards
https://github.com/codazoda/hub-ctrl.c or https://github.com/mvp/uhubctl can be used if the hubs have "Per-port power switching". The second link also has a long description.

I2c-USB-hub: An i2C Controllable USB 2.0 Hub
I don't really see those as issues... The hub chip is cheap and doesn't directly do i2c, but, so ? Controlling VBus seems to be by design, exactly for devices that are separately powered to still work: see author's other project https://github.com/JimHeaney/usb-toggle . There should be a way to block further communication at the software level if that matters to one's use case. You can expand this, just plug a bunch of them into another hub...
What are some alternatives?
When comparing hub-ctrl.c and usb-toggle you can also consider the following projects:
uhubctl - uhubctl - USB hub per-port power control
