A comment on USB-C was supposed to simplify our lives, but instead it’s a total mess. Parent comment
It's just incorrectly implements the switch to an alternate mode which it uses for it's duck which causes 3rd party docks to fry switches.
It's generally more sensitive in that alternate mode as it draws more power.
The dock itself is a different matter.
But the switch does implant USB-C PD just fine.
I'm frequently charging it with my laptop charger and many people do so as far as I know.
It's also why using a power bank with the switch works just fine.
