This is more about Apple's record on doing things to embellish their latest tech. They're going to do the whole "this is a feature exclusive to our Pro models" and a year or two later they're going to "add" it to others and call it an innovation breakthrough.

It's surprising a tech company like them would bother to do this, given that USB-C is already capable of those speeds, but it's also unsurprising cause it's Apple.
