could end up on landfill

I get what you're saying, but let's face it those cables end up on landfill sooner or later anyway, whether someone buys them or not; you might actually prevent more newer cables being produced by purchasing these old ones

I get what you are saying, but USB 3 was out long before usb-c was created, so these cables are not 'old' they are redundant from the start. Manufactures will make what people buy.

So it's always best to buy the best that's fit for purpose. Society creates too much waste. High quality that can be used for longer surely better.

USB 3 isn't free though - it needs five extra cores in each cable, which is completely wasted material if it's only ever used for power.

They also make it less flexible so less fit for its main purpose. Maybe more likely to break too.
