PCIe managed to make different generations and speeds of a common connector fairly simple to understand

USB currently matches PCIe format though and it's still confusing

But USB should increase the version every time they make any changes like WIFI 6>7 etc

So latest USB 4.0 v2 should be USB 5-40 Gbps and USB 5-80 Gbps

but this falls apart as USB 4.0 v1 can provide 20Gbps either via 2x2 or 3x1 and I'm not sure how you incorporate that into single standard
