"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!"
What annoys me is when people say "Do you have an iPhone charger?" when really they mean a cable.
Almost as bad as people calling USB-B a "printer cable".
I use USB-B all the time (fightsticks) and still call them printer cables lmao
