A comment on USB4 Specification. Parent comment
Cables have conflicting requirements:
-- high current requires thick wires and heat dissipation (if long cable). Possibly other safety-related requirements
-- high frequency wants more wire surface because of skin effect
-- flexibility and cost don't like either of the above.
I personally prefer to have a choice of a thin flexible cable when situation allows, and am ready to pay for it.
