If you want to, you can buy all 40 Gbps 240 W Thunderbolt 4 Pro USB-C cables for all use-cases, but they're literally like $100 a metre, so that'd be insane and why instead there's a variety of cheaper cables for different use-cases.

A USB-C 3.0 100W cable is more like $20 and does everything other than Thunderbolt. The OP must have really bad luck.

Exactly - it's too expensive and at this point I am not sure how future proof this investment would be. Are we going to have a new USB-C cable in a year's time that my next monitor will require?..
Edit: different devices add even more to this confusion. My MacBook Pro M1 is refusing to work with a 4K USB-C monitor even when using a Thunderbolt 4 cable. LG is convinced that it should be working just fine.
