As someone who doesn't know about USB-IF but has used all kinds of cheap Amazon USB-C cables: this issue is stupid and overblown.
99% of the time, all I need from the cable is <60W of power capacity. I don't need data, and I wouldn't even notice if the cable was 1Gbps or 40Gbps.
I've literally never had a problem with _that_ use case.
Even when I need the cable for data transmission, all of the ones I have are either from my phone, laptop, dock, etc., etc. and follow standards, or are from no-name Amazon brands but _still_ seem to follow the spec completely fine.
Sure there are exceptions like the Nintendo Switch, but virtually all devices at that price point can handle bad cables.
