All cables I received in the past 10y with the mobile phones I bought
provide charge and data. I bought 5 phones to be precise.
I bought the RPi4 last year and did some research (homework) what power
supply and cable do I need to power it up. This is the only one using USB-C
ATM although I had one other phone using USB-C for few weeks.

Charging on the USB2 of a computer port is, as explained above, done at
0.5A - it takes ages.
