A comment on USB 3.2 is going to make the current USB branding even worse.

Is it USB 2 or USB 3? Is it 3.0, 3.1, or 3.2? Gen 1, Gen 2, or Gen 2x2? Do I need USB-A or Micro USB or USB-C? Do I need USB-A on one end of this cable and USB-C on the other, or some other combination? Does it support Quick Charge or Power Delivery? If it's Power Delivery, how many Watts?

Those are just some of the questions non-technical consumers are expected to know the answers to when they are buying USB products.

This is absurd.
