I have no idea why they only fulfill the USB 2.0 specification and not 3.x either, except using them for file transfer being a more rare use case than charging.

I have no doubt it's because of the cost.

You can get these connectors for less than 1€.
If you order directly from China I'm sure they'll be even cheaper.
