Interesting.

I suffered through this problem with my new 2020 MacBook Air (M1 chip / Big Sur). Remember, these newer models only have USB-C. I then read about the 'Kobo issue' (in a different thread here) and bought an 'old' hub, along with a new one, and then the problem was solved. BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE:

Then, about 1 month ago, the issue completely stopped. I no longer needed that older USB hub connected to a newer version hub for my computer to see my Kobo readers. (There was never a problem with my two Kindles.)

All I need now is a simple adapter to my Kindle and the USB-C to my computer. (Actually, it's a simple USB-C to my USB-C port on my computer. This, in turn has a regular USB cable which is connected to that adapter and the other end to the Kobo.)

About the time the problem stopped, Kobo upgraded its firmware, and Apple put out a slight revision to Big Sur.
