Is there something special about the USB-C connector on the Switch?

It's slightly off-spec in some odd ways: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/08/heres-why-nintendo-sw...

There were some slightly off-spec things in current draw but none of that is relevant to the article you linked.

That pin is supposed to use data signals of less than two volts. The nyko charger uses nine volts. The switch has no over-voltage protection on that pin, and breaks at more than six volts.

The part about a slightly thinner plug isn't relevant at all.
