Suggestion: maybe include all the USB-C-plug Thunderbolt versions too. My personal policy these days is to just buy reputable Thunderbolt cables for all my USB-C needs. Maybe I'm doing the wrong thing?
Also, I think there's a difference between active and passive USB-C cables, or something like that.

If you're happy with it then probably not.
The main possible issues are that it's more expensive and you get shorter and thicker (less flexible) cables, a passive non-optical TB (or USB4) cable will top out around 1m.
Less capable cables can be longer and thinner which is convenient for e.g. mice and such small devices. But otherwise may not matter overly much.
I've been pretty happy with my less flexible cables. I don't need to snake them around tight corners anywhere. Being less flexible seems to keep them from auto-tangling.
