This. I’m always completely bemused when I first connect a USB-C charger to a USB-C battery pack before plugging into the wall - the LED on the charger lights up like the battery is powering the charger.
There’s also tons of times where the device you want to power from the battery starts charging the battery instead. With both ends of the connector being identical I’m not sure there even is a _good_ way to fix this that ordinary consumers will understand, the better solution might have been to still keep different cable ends. I hope this mess eventually gets better.
