They meant cables in spec with the USB specification at the time usb-a was new.

Now with usb-c, it's kinda moot, as most cables are male to male anyway.. of course that means we're more likely to see USB-C female to female adopters now

USB-C female to female adapters also are out of spec. The USB standard does not allow for extensions. USB cables only have male connectors (with the exception of USB-OTG dongles).
