That is not backward compatible problem. If a cable that does 100w charging when using pd2.0, but only 60w when using with pd3.1 device, then i would agree with you.

The problem is not backward compatibility but labeling. A USB-C cable looks universal but isn’t. Some of them just charge, some do data, some do PD, some give you access to high speed. But there is no way to know.

I believe the problem here is that you will have PNG images that “look” like you can open them but can’t.
