I was looking into similar recently just wanting to do 10Gbps between two USB-C machines over USB with just a USB-C cable. Unfortunately most Ryzen boards still don't have Thunderbolt (which supports this natively and easily). And "dual role" USB controllers were quite uncommon (or as this article details, possible but not supported) until USB 3.2/4.0 - and even then it seems a bit hit and miss. It's totally crazy to me it's not easier to network two machines with a USB-C cable (without Thunderbolt).

I also love the part about the lock bit being cleared after a suspend, that seems to be such a common issue.. super common way to get SATA devices out of the state preventing secure erase for example.
