The USB-C is just the connector. The cables are thunderbolt.

Yeah but there are still signal processing steps required to tell both ends of the connector which pins to use to implement the DisplayPort protocol.
Let’s hope that bus is dedicated, and not overloaded with other USB tasks!

It is. That’s always been one of the key features of thunderbolt. There’s no negotiation or latency involved.

Right, the pins just automatically know which to use without any negotiation from the USB bus. Come on.
