There was a mandate for USB type-A cables to have a tactile USB logo on the "top" side, so that you could always feel when it was in the correct orientation.
In the current generation I've seen devices with "DP" used to mean "Power Delivery" instead of "DisplayPort"
Any mandate that is possible to ignore or misinterpret will just add noise.
