USB-A can be 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1 Gen 1, 3.1 Gen 2.
Same for USB-C. It is just a standardized connector with a defined pinout.
If you force the standard to always provide 15 watt, then how will you do that on phones or a raspberry pi or other low power devices? If you force SuperSpeed or SuperSpeed+ over the connector then you won't see it on budget or midrange phones.
It makes perfect sense to differentiate between the supported protocols and the connector itself. Otherwise you would need a ton of different connectors that you may never need on your device.
