For me, it makes a difference much later on after buying some computer. I see a usb/c port and think I can plug anything into it that fits and it just works.

When it doesn't, it will take hours/days to figure out why and if it comes down to a cable incompatibility, I would have already made the mistake of not knowing what I was buying.

Why do you ask?

Because this is an article about network adapters where someone again rants over USB markings which won't make a difference on the tested adapters if you exchange them.

It's just ranting for ranting sake, not even related to topic at hand.
