But why not just use USB4.2 2.0 rev2x2?

Jest aside the USB-IF's stance (included towards the end) is consumer labels should be labeled on feature sets not standards revisions. E.g. the on the product it should say something like "USB 40 Gbps 60W" not "<cryptic standards name that supports 20 combinations here>". To that aim they are making a strong case for products adopting that style haha.

I am enough of a power user to want to know what potential future use-cases some very expensive device will support. But I guess it's hopeless in a world where most laptop manufacturers can't even implement USB-PD to spec.

I had a little bit of an hostile conversation with a 65W PD powerbank vendor over who violated the spec - the powerbank or my ThinkPad T495. Turns our the answer was simply "yes".
