It’s cheaper and doesn’t require any extra chips to handle PD charging. Doesn’t require designing or ordering new chipsets, either. That is PRICEY on the scale of cheap consumer electronics.

More expensive stuff that gets regular updates anyway, like phones, has obviously already updated but plenty of stuff doesn’t change that often and they just keep re-using the same boards.
