This is the only valid opinion.

Perhaps one day we get a magnetic replacement for USB-C.

Why a replacement? You can already buy usb c cables with detachable magnetic heads if you fancy that

Would be a nice thing to have in the spec for the cable, as those ones aren't compliant with the spec, and can in some cases cause problems, like on disconnect it might be possible for one of the PD pins to short against one of the data pins before the side delivering power has had time to process the disconnect.

It's a pretty specific edge case and I'm sure not a problem most people have had or will run into, but would be nice if it could be part of the spec.

Fair enough, an officially sanctioned extension would also be fine!

We can call it the USB 3.2 Gen2x2 Magnets, How Do They Work Edition

Because it is usb-c, the magnetised version is also officially sanctioned.
