I'm gonna be a bit nitpicky, so I'm sorry in advance.
I think that should say "USB C port at USB 2.0 speeds". Apple likes to confuse people by using nonstandard terms. "Lightning" sounds like it is faster than the alternative, but it was actually slow the day it came out. Lightning uses USB 2.0 speeds, and I think it makes more sense to use a standard term when a standard is being used.
I think that should says "USB 3.0 speeds"
There is no such thing as "USB C speed". USB C is just the connector and can support a wide variety of speeds and protocols. Even Thunderbolt 3+ use USB C as the connector. This actually makes more sense when you think about other USB form factors. USB A also supports speeds of USB 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, etc.
I apologize again for being this way.
To be fair the speed difference is crucial for the "direct record to external storage" feature. Not sure how often people would use it day to day.
