Not exactly, the generations have been renamed, so the first two are called USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 and USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 respectively. There is no such thing as USB 3.2

Not exactly, the generations have been renamed, so the first two are called USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 and USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 respectively. There is no such thing as USB 3.2 Gen 2.
But yes, they should have just had the version determine the gen, so a 3.0 port is always gen 1, a 3.1 port is always gen 2, and a 3.2 port is always gen 2x2. Or alternatively, skipped the version increment and marketed the new protocol as "USB 3 Gen 2", with no minor version. But now we have devices with "USB 3.1" printed on them even though they can only do 5 Gb/s.
