Yeah, but the old labels won't just magically disappear. Tech folks might know how to handle it but for everyone else it will be just more of the same. As far as they care for labeling to begin with.

I think this time the manufacturers will be pretty quick at adopting the new branding; if there's two competing devices next to each other, one marked with "USB 3.2 Gen 2x2", which no one understands, and other one with "USB 20Gbps" I think the latter will sell more.

Yeah something you don't have to further look up to figure out what it means. Just simpler.
