For all USB 1.0 (assuming color is being used correctly) that is of more questionable use.
But, generally, stuff like this is actually ridiculously useful. If you are just dealing with a tower on the table next to you? Yeah, that is stupid.
If you are dealing with supporting an office (or facility) full of computers that are all mounted under desks or smushed between the desk and wall and waiting for someone to sit down too aggressively? Stuff like this is ridiculously useful because you can feel out what port you plug what device into AND have the orientation to make sure you do put the thumb drive full of offline updates into the blue or red port and don’t waste 3.0 on a mouse and so forth.

USB 1 only has four pins, so this is ≥5Gb/s

It’s to differentiate 2.0 from 3.0

3.0, 3.2 or 3.2 2x2 ?

3.0 is what they were originally called. I’m not always against retconning but this time it makes no sense. The Type-A plug is identical for all of them anyway.
The left two ones are obviously 9-pin, so 3.0. The right one is a different model (the metal is wrapped into a U, not C) but still could be a 3.0 one if the 5 extra pins are shorter than on the other connectors.

My favorite is when laptops mount their USB ports upside down and I have to lift the laptop for my interactive peripherals.

Sigh, the fact that this even exists make me sad.
