I feel like a "hub" qualifies as "a device that doesn't do address learning and floods unicast frames".

To me, the fundamental difference between a hub and a switch / bridge is address learning.

I can't tell if your (quoted) statement is specific to /just/ bridges / switches or could include hubs. Your first comment addresses bridges directly, thus meaning that your second non-targeted comment might target more.
