The most infuriating part is that the USB-IF actually designed those labels already!
The graphics already exist[0], and they are quite clear about what the cable is able to do. Manufacturers just... can't be bothered?

Oof now I've actually looked at this link and... they did manage to make it confusing: There's an official label for 5, 20, 40, and 80Gbps... but the official label for 480Mbps is, "just don't show any value." And that's the most common USB-C cable you'll find new, even today.
