Those are only good for charging though, right? I haven’t seen any usb-c that support data transfer.

Yes, there are magnetic USB cables which do data. Here's my review of one https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/10/gadget-review-subbytech-magnetic-charge-sync-cables/

I've seen one or two on Amazon that are c types with data, but I haven't tried one yet. You are correct that most are currently power only.
