    They cannot, capitalist greed. The companies want to sell absolutely garbage cables and call it a higher number to fool absolute idiots so we have this naming mess.

    It will absolutely never get better for ANY consortium that listens to the will of capitalists. Because that shit hurts profits and the utopian notion of growth is sacred more than any holy book to them.

      A higher number makes sense and is useful.

      USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 isn’t useful.

        Aren’t these internal names?

        Also, you can call a shitty device USB 3. You can call a super juiced up device USB 3 as well. The consumer had to go dig in the manual to find out what generation and speed it actually is.

        See the point?

        A lot of USB flash drives advertise themselves as USB 3 with wildly varying speeds
