> it would expose the lie that there can be a universal data and power connector for all devices

It was never promised for ALL devices. Obviously, there are high power applications where type-C connector would melt no matter what you do.

But it's quite obvious that USB-C cables with 40Gbps and 100W power delivery exist. And it's good enough for most devices. At least for now.

I even see 40Gbps cables with 240W PD.
