I really like (careful, sarcasm) that about USB-C and HDMI. You have a port, you have a cable. But if you're not a Syadmin you have no idea why it does not work as you think it should.

I can't understand why they did not put some kind of capability mark for cables/ports into the spec.

You're talking about a completely different thing from cables that claim to handle a certain speed but aren't built well enough to actually do so.
