"USB-C" really only means "that flat oval shaped connector" and absolutely nothing more. The plug and cable and connected devices define what USB standard is used. You can deliver anything from "charging only USB 2.0 low power" to USB 4 with 240 W charging and 80Gbps data transfer including 8K@60 DisplayPort tunneling via USB-C.

    Still better than: "Can you borrow me your charging cable? Oh, you got USB-C. Well shit!"

    Yes, USB-C only describes the physical connector, but unless Apple somehow insists on giving users a more shitty experience when using USB-C they are kind of forced to support a reasonable standard for data transfer and charging. We probably won't get 240W charging or anything close, but we also won't see a degradation compared to lightning.
