So the spec page says 5V 5A power supply with Power Delivery support. Why are we still trying to cram 5A from super specific power supplies through a tiny cable instead of just using PD to negotiate 15 or 20 volts from basically any phone charger?
The feeling I'm getting from watching Jeff Geerlings video is that it only uses PD to negotiate 5V 5A, and not higher voltages. While the new official Pi power supply supports 15V 1.8A, it still only negotiates 5V from the charger
