In addition to the reversibility of USB-C, USB-C itself can mean different things (sorta). Some can only handle power, some power and data, some can’t handle sufficient data, some can be longer, some can only be shorter, some have specific protocols for a particular device, etc. It’s why if you take a USB-C that comes with a phone (factory cable) sometimes it can’t charge a different phone (even if you use that phone’s charger).
