The last thing the world needs is more cheap shit in landfills. USB-C will be around for a while, especially now that Apple has been forced to go USB-C. Cheap shit cables simply don't make sense at this point.
Here we're talking pretty close to 10x - $4 per charge-only cable vs $30 for a 100W 40 Gbps Thunderbolt cable - which will be obsolete for top notch operation in 3 years if not sooner....
And given the thickness of those full-service cable... are we talking about more or less material eventually going to landfill?
The iPhone 15 Pro / Pro Max is USB 3.1 from the year 2013.
This cable appears to be USB 2.0. 22-year-old standard. Just like the brand new iPhone.
USB 3 is not a speed. 480 mbps fully compliant because USB 3 describes interoperability.
When you hear garbage like "USB 3.2 2x2" it is because usage of the correct terms (40 Gbps Superspeed in this case) requires actual conformance testing that they work properly.

Given they are all made in China, I rather save some money & buy directly!

It's known by many products especially cables to only have usb 2.0 support to cut down in cost which normal iPhone 15 users will prefer. The majority of people who buy the normal iPhone 15 will not be using it for wired data transferred. Ever since iCloud backup has been available it's been obsolete. Even if I needed to transfer files to my pc I use an app that has wifi support.
People who are more serious about data will end up getting the pro that supports usbc gen 3.2.
No need for name calling.
