Maybe I should start my own news company. You just string some words together about something and it doesn't really have to make any sense or communicate any information. You say this happened, but at the same time maybe it didn't happen, mention some people feel one way and other people feel a different way, throw in some meaningless speculation, someone else who is jumping to conclusions, maybe throw a pun in there somewhere, at least one person is skeptical about the thing, someone is concerned about how things will be different, and start selling space for advertisements.
This is more about Apple's record on doing things to embellish their latest tech. They're going to do the whole "this is a feature exclusive to our Pro models" and a year or two later they're going to "add" it to others and call it an innovation breakthrough.
It's surprising a tech company like them would bother to do this, given that USB-C is already capable of those speeds, but it's also unsurprising cause it's Apple.
