I don't quite understand why this naming is a big issue. USB is now so complicated you have to look at the data sheet if you want to know what you PC or whatever provides. It's not just the speed. It's also how much power can flow, in what directions and whether it does that when the power is off. It's not just USB, but whether it supports pin reassignment to DisplayPort, Thunderbolt and what not. If you care you are going to have to look it up.
The point is you will be able to look it up. With cables you can't. I wish it was mandatory to publish the rated max speed, amps and max number of insertions on every USB-C cable. It's only 3 numbers - but there is no chance of it happening.
