based on my (non electrical engineer) read of the top response, it seems like the pins that connect for power delivery communication (how the device tells how to treat the device that’s being plugged in) aren’t symmetrical and can sometimes misbehave, but again, I don’t really know what I’m talking about lol
found this decently relevant stack exchange on USB c symmetry: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/685358/why-does-this-usb-c-connection-only-work-in-one-connector-orientation

fun rabbit hole tho, thanks!
That’s tremendously relatable and made me smile, so thanks in turn
