I returned home after being out at sea and forgot to pay my electric bill before I left and it was shut off, so I needed it to call the electric company and pay. afaik can't do that poo poo with usb c. afaik usbc will still output standard usb voltages and amps without anything special, it's just if you wanna request the slightly more dangerous poo poo like 15 volts at 3 amps or whatever to power a laptop that you have to start doing handshaking poo poo.

people have gotten a lot worse at understanding they share a world with anyone else since covid poo poo like leaving high beams on not pulling over for emergency vehicles saying please and thank you etc every single time i see a car get treated like a pinata because it parked in front of a fire hydrant and there was a fire that needed that hydrant brings me peace and joy the choice between walking an extra few blocks because parking sucks and potentially being responsible for slowing down firefighters trying to save lives isnt complicated and mr or ms acura earned every penny of that repair bill plus the big boy parking ticket that goes with it
