Serious question here.
Is there any reason anyone would choose USB 2.0 over 3.0?

Does anyone know if this can also be used as a regular USB cable? It's cheaper than any USB 3.0 Type-A to Type-C cable out there.

I am getting the 3.0 A to A priced at $5 with free (-$2.99) shipping WITHOUT logging in.
Not sure why others are having trouble with that, but I opened the page in a Chrome incognito window.

I've had one of these in my Amazon cart for a couple of months now, but the price is like $30. So, for $5, I'll take two. I have no idea what kind of quality to expect, but no risk, no reward.
