My conclusion was that power delivery is not implemented on the device, but if you got it working maybe it's just not properly implemented and your equipment is more tolerant in that respect? (Maybe similar to the issues that the Raspberry Pi 4 was recently found to have with properly implemented chargers - apparently it only charges with cheap chargers that ignore the device self-identification).
The problem is not originated from a Mac OSX USB powering, it originates from any USB-C or PD source, regardless of the cable brand. This for the charging issue.

On the other hand, for data transfer or sync, USB-C to USB-C works fine on Mac OSX.


So at the end, to charge: USB-A charger and USB-A to USB-C cable.
