You just note down the company who delivered the idiotic product: next time your options for purchase are narrower, but it narrow the chance to buy products badly designed.

Just because some companies sells USB butplugs it doesn't mean USB standard is necessarily a pain in the ass overall.

    I have a fucking thinkpad that does not follow the USB PD spec!

    The thing has only type-c ports, the thing is relatively recent (2023), the thing accepts 140W via type-c, I never bothered to check the actual specs and assumed PD 3.1

    Turned out that no, this is not PD, this works only via proprietary power brick that outputs 20v@6.75A, that I didn't get as I already have a bajilion of PD 3.0/3.1 power supplies at home.

    No, but it does mean that the USB standard allows for being a pain in the ass, compatibility-wise, which kind-of defeats the point.
