But it's already multiple cables. I have like 3 dozen cables, with more than a dozen being USB-C and only like 5 of them will fast charge my phone. This will get more absurd and confusing as it's expanded over varying needs for power per device. I mean at least make some sort of easy cable label requirement.
Your word is the USB-IF's ear. Though generally speaking there really is an enforcement problem when it comes to cables, sometimes cables don't even meet basic USB specs much less high-speed high-power specs.
