There is a reason for USB-C extensions not to be part of the standard. They can be bothersome in the best case and dangerous in the worst.

      Braiding doesn’t really increase the cable quality per se though…?

      It’s $90 because it has fairly thick wiring and as Margot said is likely an active cable (with a chip in the plug). It’s actually fairly cheap considering the feature set.

        Braided cables are just higher quality imo because they can’t tangle easily and take a lot of effort to bend.
