HW is capable but people have opinion that the HW is not capable. Do you have a reason why Apple restricts USB 3.0 speeds?

The USB-C chip itself is cheaper and not compatible.

A SoC or CPU can support 512GB of RAM for example, but you won't get 512GB of RAM unless you have 512GB of RAM.

USB-C port needs to have controller. On video they clearly showed that A17 USB-C is SoC (on a chip). Are you implying that A15 doesn't have USB-C controller SoC?
