Maybe we can at least switch to a color standard like we had with the block inside USB 2 v 3 (where 3 was blue). Many manufacturers didn’t/don’t honor it but it’s nice when they do. Color could be added to solve this without having to retool cable factories. The only problem I guess is that USB C is such a mess and has so many possible combinations of features the colors may be hard to remember. Maybe there would be common ones?
