> I've only ever noticed Thunderbolt (which I've always seen denoted by a lightning bolt) and USB-C. And never really had a compatibility issue outside of that.

Oh boy. When it comes to data, USB-C cables can be either limited to USB 2 or fully featured USB 3.2. But that's just one dimension - for high power PD your cable has to be e-marked, and for longer cables (1m) they have to be active in order to support Thunderbolt at full speed.
