While this isn't great, as a consumer I don't really see too big of a problem. If I get a raspberry pi to use for home automation or as a media center, do I really need it to work with every USB-C cable? I'd think I'd just find one that works and let that be the dedicated raspberry 4 cable.
If you're building a product based on Raspberry Pi that you're selling to others, then sure I could understand the outrage.
