Make sure the cable you buy is USB-IF certified.
No, it can't be done because you need a certain gauge of wire (i think 20awg) to handle the 20V 5A 100W load to meet spec and not be a fire hazard. It just goes against physics to have a thin and flexible cable to support the full spec. There's 12 conductors(or more) in a full spec wire. Those used for power need to be no less than 20awg and i would assume the others would be 28awg (maybe 30)
The only reason Apple's included cables are as flexible as they are is that they are usb 2.0 spec. This would be an similar cable it's just 2.0 spec https://smile.amazon.com/Certified-Charging-Compatible-Nintendo-Delivery/dp/B078GJSL8X?ref_=ast_sto_dp
If you don't need the data you can get more flexible cables that are 2.0 spec but still offer 100w support.
I see, so my cable list should look like this:
Will a SuperSpeed+ cable work for Thunderbolt 3, or is there an additional requirement (and corresponding e-mark) ?
While I do understand the technical realities, this is complex for consumers...
