Somewhat pointless without all cables supporting those features, though.

If you buy thunderbolt cables, they support everything. If you look at the cost of those cables, you will see why not all USB cables support every feature. They are also limited to 1 meter without active circuitry, which will make them even more expensive.

It still solves one end of the problem. The cable problem probably needs enforcement from law side.
