My expectation is that the confusion will be ongoing.

Once unpackaged and in use, how are consumers supposed to easily determine which USB-C cables or charging devices are which, when eyeing several random cable and chargers in a drawer?

How would they even know that certain cables or device/charger combinations will not work as well as other combinations? Even when people buy all new device hardware, older cables tend to get reused and mixed up with newer cables. If the cable fits into the socket, people will (attempt to) use it.

The various 'USB' power ratings and compatibility modes alone seems ample territory for confusion.
