What I hate is those short built in cables for most Type-C products.

Long cables are expensive. I like the ones with a USB-C in port because of that, cause I can just plug in a longer Thunderbolt 3 (since those are basically the only ones reliably compliant...) cable of my choice instead.

For manufacturer cost wont increase by more than a few cents to increase the cable length. Also what you are suggesting is connecting a thunderbolt cable to a device which already has a female Type-C cable built in and not removable.

Not when you start looking at passing full USB3.1G2 at 10Gb/s, or TB3. The moment you get that high, it can start getting quite expensive, especially at the certification and validation level (remember, a long wire is basically a glorified antenna).

Edit: or the vendors are just being cheap, as they are wont to do.. take your pick.
