Remote Desktop Computer Over USB(-C)?

That's because you aren't understanding the underlying tech. Both are cables. The protocols that govern them are different. You want to do RDP over USB, sure no problem. But you or some company will have to develop the software protocols to do this. Because Ethernet has things already built in for stuff like connectivity between systems on a network connected with a cable (Cat5,6,7, Fiber, Coax, BNC, etc) to manage things like addresses and destinations (IPs, DNS, routing), have error checking in place like TCP, so that you don't get garbled display when connecting. Lots of things.
You could do USB to Ethernet... and RDP, but you would still not be able to perform what you wanted because you are limited by the software, RDP, not the physical cable. Think logical topology and not physical.
