That one is at least a little more understandable, same phy, just operates in a different spectrum.

I guess my point is it's meant to be a consumer marketing name - and if I have to explain to them that "6E" has an "E" because it's the "same phy, but operates in a different spectrum" then they've failed to create a rational naming scheme yeah? Don't get me wrong, I get it. But I also get USB 3.2 Gen 2x2

Like ... why "E" of all letters?
