A perfectly good USB C cable is also a problem as the USB Host end is designed to do more than 5V, high power and adds other non-USB features. It's a "utility" spec, going far beyond what any normal USB memory, peripheral or gadget needs.

A bad USB cable can also damage equipment but I've only seen ones using incorrect cable or badly made connectors rather than polarity reversed, which was the famous faulty USB C cable. Sadly the FCC, CSA and CE marks are not policed in retail.
