I think this time the manufacturers will be pretty quick at adopting the new branding; if there's two competing devices next to each other, one marked with "USB 3.2 Gen 2x2", which no one understands, and other one with "USB 20Gbps" I think the latter will sell more.

Probably. But then again, if one says "USB 20Gbps", but the one next to it has "80Gbps", it might be better to have had "USB 3.2 Gen 2x2"

Yeah something you don't have to further look up to figure out what it means. Just simpler.
