Pretty much this:

I have an older USB C power bank from 2016 and it will only charge with a USB A to USB C cable. This is great information that needs to get to everyone, a lot of people don't know this.

Also it is nice to have old chargers that don't have variable charging incase some devices go dead and no longer charge at higher speeds. Happend to me recently

Anker battery packs let you double click the button on them to reduce to minimal charge.

But it needs power to do that, it could have issues if it was completely drained

This should be a design requirement for every product anyways
