My Switch charges just fine with USB-C to USB-C cables. These days all I buy are GaN chargers with 3 USB-C / 1 USB-A and they can charge my MacBook, my Lenovo laptop, my work Dell, my Galaxy phone, basically 9/10 of my electronics at their max charging speed with the same USB-C to USB-C cable. Which makes these cheap devices missing pulldown resistors that cost a penny or something extremely annoying.

The problem with Switch is really the charger. If a device pulls down the resistors it puts out 15v. It is dangerous to plug into other devices.
