USB-C naming to somehow get worse with USB4 Version 2.0 (arstechnica.com)

The new type of USB4 will continue the USB-IF's questionable naming scheme that only its members and a thumbtack-and-string-covered corkboard can truly appreciate. When it's all said and done, it seems you'll be able to find USB-C ports that are USB4 Version 2.0, USB4 Version 1.0, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, USB 3.2 Gen 2, USB 3.2 Gen 1, or USB 2.0, plus some will opt for Intel Thunderbolt certification. And in the case of USB4 Version 1.0, you'll still need more information to know if the port supports the spec's max potential speed of 40Gbps.

they must have some nefarious reason behind naming the USB standards in such a dog shit way... I refuse to believe anyone who thinks this is good exists

never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
