That same engineer also said the following
All passive USB-C cables support PD 2.0 or 3.0, all charging features. The only things a cable needs to need to support PD are:
Vbus wire
Gnd wire
CC wire
Therefore, all USB cables, even the lowest end USB 2.0 cable support USB PD. You don't need an identifier chip to support basic USB PD charging.
Literally it's just the CC wire that goes end to end that enables USB PD charging from one end to the other.
USB PD is supposed to be backward and forward compatible, and a USB 2.0 cable can't actually differentiate itself as a USB PD 2.0 or PD 3.0 cable, since chances are it doesn't actually have an identifier chip. Your basic cable (which the Anker is) should work all the way up to 60W with PPS.
PPS also doesn't matter. A USB 2.0 C-to-C cable is supposed to support PPS.

In other words as long as you have any proper usb c cable (spec compliant) and a usb c Pd charger with sufficient power output, everything will work.
