Depends on the failure mode; If your USB4 cable has enough noise (due to poor cabling, damage, or interference), it may negotiate down to 40Gbps (or even 20Gbps) instead of 80Gbps instead of outright failure, but it might also intermittently crap out if it negotiates a certain speed and then get moved.
If your device requires a speed that can’t be reached, yeah it’ll pretty much always fail on a bad cable.
Did the citizens of that country take the loan? No

Did the world bank make any effort to ensure the above were answered ‘yes’? No
When you make a leveraged loan are you supposed to be guaranteed that the it was risk free? No
If leveraged loans could be made risk-free ‘breal your legs’ style the way the world bank does to countries, banks would be offering loans to every punter who wanted to bet on the dogs.
