Yup. You are referring to the USB 2.0 spec there, not the USB-C spec. If you follow the citation it in turn seems to be citing (not explicitly) the USB-PD spec.

It's a remote that charges via the USB-C port. If it doesn't follow USB 2.0 spec, or the USB-PD spec, or any spec associated with the type-C port, how is it supposed to get power from the host device/charger?
