Or like saying usb-a to usb-c adapters don’t exist because they’re not part of the standard but we all have like six of those damn things even though we’ve never actually bought a single one.
Are they? Everything I can find seems to say they aren’t.
I remember when the first usb-c Macbooks hit stores Apple didn’t have usb-a to c adapters for sale because they weren’t in spec, a lot of reviews mentioned that.
Show me where in the USB standards these are specified.
This is like saying that a building isn’t a building if it’s not up to code

You can find compliance requirements in the document linked here: https://www.usb.org/document-library/usb-type-c-connectors-and-cable-assemblies-compliance-document
You want to look at table 3-6 for requirements for USB-C to legacy USB adapters.
They cables and exist and they work. So being “specified” doesn’t mean jack shit.
They might sometimes work. They aren’t guaranteed to work.
