They work with c2c charging. Your source is probably not playing nicely with power delivery. For instance, Apple's original usb-c chargers lacked certain standard profiles and don't work with non-Apple products.

hire people, not test results*

*test results in a foreign, artificial, high-stress environment, using an IDE no one uses for normal work.

Medical providers in the US do not compete on price. There is in general little to no price transparency, as everything is traditionally paid for by private insurance. So as a rule, dentists will charge the maximum allowed by private insurance for x-rays.

In the US, people are complaining more and more about the cost of healthcare, but usually in terms of the cost of insurance. They never ask why providers charge what they do (p.s. - if you're in the hospital, don't ask your nurse to bring you a tissue, just buy some from the gift shop).
