For the full features of the USB 3.1 standard the maximum cable length is 1 meter.
Imagine if you will a corporate office, cubicles filling the floor, a server room with racks of machines, and you can’t go more than one meter before having a powered repeater of some sort.
Really sounds like a job for Ethernet doesn’t it? In fact there are various standards and cable/ports which are better for different applications. Just because USB C can do something a bit doesn’t mean it can do it as well as everything else. A moped can move people and cargo but it doesn’t mean a moped is good for any time you need people or cargo moved.
