To be fair I also didn't know for a long time that HDMI is not a trustworthy port and can be used to spread malware [0]. And I'm usually not thinking about that when plugging my laptop to a projector.
Maybe with USB you could get away by using a cable without data pins, but I'm not sure whether that may influence charging speed given USB-C is pretty flexible.
