USB certification already exists, and consistently fails regardless of how hard, and arduous it is to pass, and the only option seem to make it actually work is to make it even more strict, which itself will be a turnoff to hardware, and more importantly, chipmakers.

Thunderbolt chips already cost an arm, and a leg.

USB is a good example of why testing should be hard and should be wholly dependent on the problem and not at all on the feelings of the manufacturer. You don’t see 100G Ethernet links dropping out because of a crappy cable.
