Microchips in cables are already a semi-optional part of the USB-C standard, mandatory for charging with more than 3A... The backlash was against rumors that Apple was planning an additional paid certification program which would mean only cables whose manufacturers paid for Apple certification would be able to achieve higher speeds... |

This part of the spec is actually quite well thought out.
It’s a shame that no device I know just displays the marker data (e.g. a message like “this connection might be limited by your cable”, assuming it’s also possible to figure out the other end’s highest theoretical speed, or simply the cable capabilities in some system menu).
