The connector can still remain the same while the internal changes. USB-C is just the connector head. Look at USB4 that still uses the USB-C head. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB4

It's just like we have new modern electronics, but they are all able to plug into the same wall sockets. I don't have to remodel my home.

Ironically, thats one of the problems with USB-C. So many different standards for wildly different use cases and compatibilities, all visually identical. You pretty much just have to trust (and often times, decipher) the sellers description, and even then thats not always good enough.
