I really hate USB PD for hobby project. You are getting into territory of cheap Chinese power adapters and voltage regulators, with high risk of fire! It is very easy and cheap, to find power bricks for any voltage, with much much better quality!

I mean, that's the whole point why I decided to go down the rabbit hole of spending time to learn and understand it instead of just grabbing the cheapest AliExpress trigger board and hope for the best.
Giving up on understanding and documenting it is not going to improve the situation, we'll just end up relying on a handful of manufacturers that are the only ones able to supply what everyone else built upon… and the chip shortage of 2020/2021 pretty much has shown how bad that can get.
