I mean, they update the standard to add new things. Is that bad?

They also change existing terms for no good reason.

The don't.

But give me an example of what you're talking about. I'll explain.

USB3.2 gen 2, USB3.2 Gen2x2

The consumer facing names for those transmission specs are and have always been:

  • SuperSpeed 10 Gbps

  • SuperSpeed 20 Gbps

Unless you're designing your own circuits you don't need to worry about signaling rates (ie "Gen") or lane configuration (Z×Y).
