You forget that faster speeds also mean way more heat. It is not as simple as you think.

There are plenty of USB4 sleds that have solved this. Even easier for an OEM to build in concert.

Versus this junk that only runs at 10 Gbps on millions of machines with USB4.

This runs at 20Gbps. USB4 would be an overkill.

Most USB4 PCs throttle USB 3.2 to 10Gbps. Including all USB4 Macs and iPads.

Also the 2000 GB/sec is the realistic throttle point of USB 3.2, adding in protocol overhead. The drive is being throttled due to a lack of USB4, and on most USB4 computers would be severely throttled.
