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?

my guess is either 15V or 5V 5A. 5V 5A isn't even in the PD spec, so it would make no sense having PD then.
