כגון does not mean ‘for example ‘

It means “of the type/characteristic” from the lashon גוונא, color, type. Rebbeim, including myself, typically translate it as ‘for example’ to kids, but i always mention to them that it’s not what it really means, even though it’s a useful place marker for the way the term is generally used.
