How come USB4 is one word, when USB 2.0, USB 3.0, and so on are 2? Is there an actual answer at all?

  Latest version name is USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 You see, lines up perfectly

    "4" means bad luck in some countries, so maybe they should name it "USB5" from "3 + 2"

  Arbitrary and capricious marketing.

  It's kinda like the Pentium4, where Intel switched from Roman numbers ("Pentium II", "Pentium III") to an Arabic numberal with no space. Hopefully USB4 won't be the energy-guzzling disaster that Pentium4 was.
