This (and the GP) are because your device supports some sort of fast charge USB-PD negotiation, but does not support what is known as “dead battery mode”. Basic

This (and the GP) are because your device supports some sort of fast charge USB-PD negotiation, but does not support what is known as “dead battery mode”. Basically, dead battery mode enables those pull down resistors by default (when no power is applied) so you can get 5V to the system, where eventually it would charge up and the chip that can do PD negotiation will be powered. Usually this is done simply by having the negotiation chip default to pull down resistors internally when unpowered.
