no there should be only one cable that does work for all use cases. do you really think most consumers now what the 40gbps/20gbps or 5w/240w or whatever even means for them?

No, consumers mostly don’t know this, but the market also needs lower tier cables. USB-C high throughput, high voltage cables with thunderbolt and display port (I think that is the max of what a cable can carry) are quite expensive.

Lots of people need reasonable cables to charge their phones.
