This Reddit user claims the included charging cable with the 4A is limited to 2.0 speeds.

Same for the Pixel 6A. Google charging cables are all 2.0.

My Pixel 1 came with a blue USB 3.0 cable, which handles 5Gbps just fine.

We are specifically talking about USB-PD fast charging cables which the Pixel 1 does not support.

It supported 18w of USB PD. Is there some further spec?

That's hilarious, so the Pixel 2 not only dropped the 2.5mm port, it also dropped the USB3 cable.
One could speculate that the moment Google knew their phone was a success, they stopped caring about open standards.
The same applies to Pixel devices and Apple devices. There might be exceptions I'm not aware of but it's definitely not the industry standard for USB-PD charging cables to come with 3.0 or faster data transfer speeds as the extra wires increase cost and decrease flexibility, which makes them less suitable for a daily charging cable.
