I'd be willing to bet the vast majority of consumers do not buy name brand cables.

The majority of consumers don't do anything that needs more than 2.0 speeds and 30Wish charging. If they do, they can probably afford name brand cables.

In the next few years consumers will start getting laptops that need 60W, but most cables can do that now, and it won't be common for a few years now(Phones still had microUSB when I bought my laptop, many people have even older ones).
