Do you have an example of a device that only uses USB 2.0 over a USB-C connector? I wasn't aware of such a thing.

Not true. My phone, a Pixel, has USB 3.1 Gen 1. The Galaxy S8 is also USB 3.1 but I'm unable to find which gen it is from five minutes' Googling.

That's over two-and-a-half years old though. The kinds of devices using USB-C that are coming out nowadays are using USB 3.1.

Older ones maybe. The latest generations of flagship phones use USB 3.1 over Type-C.
