Why is being USB-C being open conflated with “now every idiot and his mother will start making USB-C cables”? Couldn’t a consumer buy a cable from a reputed bra

Why is being USB-C being open conflated with “now every idiot and his mother will start making USB-C cables”? Couldn’t a consumer buy a cable from a reputed brand like Anker, Apple or Samsung and be done with it? I can never understand the weird stockholder syndrome of Apple users justifying its anti-consumer business practices in the name of convenience and standardisation.
