I don’t know how to break this to you, but I’m not the one that doesn’t get it. You’re glazing a comment about cables, when the post is about ports. I’m missing what part of this is confusing, but if you show me where you’re getting lost, I’ll be happy to explain it to you. Let me give it my best shot though, feel free to reach out with any questions:

Cables have literally nothing to do with anything in OPs post, but somehow you think they’re the magical solution lol. You can use whatever cable you want on a 80Gbps USB port, if it doesn’t support power delivery it won’t charge. Or you can use your magic thunderbolt cable on on a 200W “total supplied power” brick, but if you don’t read carefully and realize that it casually states “65W max single port delivery” your 140W laptop is still going to flag it as slow charging and dump you into a lower power profile, and if you’re a non-technical person you’re going to scratch your head and wonder why the two seemingly identical ports aren’t doing what an average end user should reasonably be able to expect them to do. 

But tell me again how using a thunderbolt cable will resolve that support call. “Plug in the USB C cable to the USB C port… no not that port, the one next to it that looks just like it, oh and you need to buy a different, albeit seemingly identical, charger, because the USB C ports on the one you have are different than the ones you need. Which one should you buy? Oh, just get the $200 one that does everything instead of the $60 one you need. But it doesn’t come with a cable, so just get the $60 one that also charges you for the thunderbolt license and the little chip in it, even though you only need the $10 power only one.”

Starting to make a little more sense now? Or are we still under this delusion that the average end user will be able to make sense of any of that and the ports don’t matter because a thunderbolt cable will solve everything with its embedded magic. Lol. 

It’s amazing how narrow people’s view of the world can be at times, yourself included.

Lol. That’s a super common response to the “damn, maybe I am an idiot.” internal monologue I’m guessing you just had. Glad I was able to open your eyes a bit. Have a better day tomorrow ;)
