Short: Yes, it does. But likely only with specific network chips.
In my case, I tested with a small USB-C docking adapter, which I connected to my hAP ax S via USB-A to USB-C adapter as shown in the picture below. The chip is a Realtek RTL8153, which was immediately recognized by RouterOS and added as “ether6” interface to my interface list. (The hAP ax S without USB attachments features 5 ethernet ports called ether1-5 and 1 SFP port called “sfp1”.)
MikroTik as of right now does not feature a compatibility list of attachable network chipsets. They have a page called “Peripherals” which poses as a compatibility list for LTE modems, SFP modules and U.2 disks. I will inquire with MikroTik support if they see sense in adding a section for ethernet adapters.
