I'm guessing to side-step the issues the raspberries are having. USB-C can carry enough juice but there are just so many crap cables out there & then the device gets blamed by the user because it's such a subtle failure mode
I'd second this. I tried yesterday using the brand new cable supplied with my Google Stadia Controller to use to connect my Phone to my car. It worked! Android Auto showed up - only to fail after 20 seconds. No turning around and reseating helped although the connection was physically better than the cable I was trying to replace.
