I’ve wondered this with systems like my work-provided HP Elitebook as well. Best I can think of is that some customers may require the ability to charge a laptop via a port that doesn’t also double as a data port? Given some of the crazy hardware security attacks we’ve seen over the years, I’m a lot more paranoid about plugging in a rando USB-C cable than plugging in a barrel connector. That said, knowing to look for tip polarity, voltage, and available amperage is a lot to ask of people. I wish we had a standardized power-only charger option.
