Say what? Most dongles with usb-c ports sold so far are specifically designed to relay power. If that's not working for you then you may have gotten a bad dongle.

I think that's the point. With off-the-shelf aftermarket parts, it's not always clear if you're getting something that can provide clean pass-through power or not. Or even if that's something you should be worried about.
