USB-C is just the physical connector. It was designed as a do-it-all connection so yea it supports so many different standards that it can get really confusing.

Cables are the same problem. 
Does this cable support charging and data?  
... and video? 
Is it USB4 or just USB 3.x?

I haven't bought many USB-C cables because my powerbank and charger had them bundled, only bought one nice sleeved cable because the cheap one from the powerbank already stopped working sometimes.
