    Huh what? Is this a thing with USB-C cables? I always used the same cable for everything and I’m fine

      Same. That’s the whole point of USB C. You buy one good cable and use it for everything.

      Yes, there are ones that are only USB 2, also some can deliver more power than others. If you want to charge a USB-C notebook for example, you need 100 W rated cables.

      They do not all behave the same. I have many of them that are supplied as a charging cable in small electronic devices. These ubiquitous USB-C cables will not perform a data connection with your phone. At all. I have to search for that one cable that I know works for data since it moves around the house.
