At the cost of being shorter and stiffer; a cable which can only use USB 2.0 and 3A charging can be longer and thinner. And there are also buggy devices (like the first hardware revision of the Raspberry Pi 4) which incorrectly short the two configuration pins together and can only work with less capable cables. But other than that, I agree: a passive Thunderbolt 4 cable can be considered a "perfect do-everything USB-C cable".
