There is a reason for USB-C extensions not to be part of the standard. They can be bothersome in the best case and dangerous in the worst.

    Technically extension cables were not part of the original USB spec, either, but that did not prevent oodles of them from appearing pretty much instantly. They solved a problem, there was a need, and thus they happened.

    I.e. there never was supposed to be any such thing as a passive male USB-A to female USB-A cable, and yet pretty much every little MP3 player from 2001 to about 2005 came with one regardless.
