Unfortunately “USB-C” means nothing. It just describes what type of connector to use.

I mean its gpod enough,no? Tp be able to force apple to not use proprietary charging. And i assume data will also be a thing on their products, whether or not it uses the full speed capabilities of usb c dpesnt seem to matter.

“USB-C” really only means “that flat oval shaped connector” and absolutely nothing more. The plug and cable and connected devices define what USB standard is used. You can deliver anything from “charging only USB 2.0 low power” to USB 4 with 240 W charging and 80Gbps data transfer including 8K@60 DisplayPort tunneling via USB-C.

Still better than: “Can you borrow me your charging cable? Oh, you got USB-C. Well shit!”

What annoys me is when people say “Do you have an iPhone charger?” when really they mean a cable.

Almost as bad as people calling USB-B a “printer cable”.
