USB-C defaults to "off", so a 5V PD trigger would be a sensible product. It just needs a couple resistors, no chip.

There’s no such thing as 5V PD unless you mean 5V 5A, fyi. PD is an optionally supported standard of USB-C and the resistors are not part of PD, just the standard USB-C spec.

You are technically correct, in that using resistors to trigger 5V would fall under "USB Type-C Current" rather than "USB Power Delivery".
But what would you call such a product, other than "5V PD trigger"?
