It’s worth noting that this is _allowed_ by the USB-PD spec, but you’re right that 5V @ 5A is not common because it is not required. At least it’s better than the Pi 4 was at launch? :D

It would have been better if it could accept 12V3A which many USB-PD adapters can do. Or better yet just a XT30 connector and 5V5A.

12V is an optional voltage, a 25W device is supposed to use 9V 2.8A. Any USB-PD charger of 25W or more is guaranteed to provide that.

The charger is allowed, the Pi 5 is not.
