Ok. So if i make today a device, tomorrow it will be obsolete ? I guess some people are paid to come with ideas.

Anyway this USB-PD looks like a good parody (240 W in a USB-C connector - what can go wrong? ). I take my popcorn.

Device? No. Board design? Maybe, it depends on how good a relationship with suppliers you have and how much stock you pre-purchased to manufacture it.

Which is exactly why this particular problem is a lot more annoying for hobbyists rather than actual industry players.
