It’s not perfect & misses a few things, but something like this I assume.

It only gets worse:

The logos for power ratings are visually indistinguishable from the logos for data rate.

So you tell your family member that they need a 40-gigabit cable, they get a 60-Watt cable, and call you back to say it's still not working.

At this point, the USB-IF is beyond incompetence and well over into malice. They hate you all.
