To be fair, I think this is a general USB-C issue, not a MacOS issue. It just so happens that macs only have USB-C ports.
USB-C cable is the same on both ends, so some extra bits on the devices is required to let themselves be auto detected as devices, instead of hosts.

That is a really good point that I did not think of 😃. Should I just delete the branch or rephrase it from Mac-OS to something along the lines of “while using USB-C”

@mmosca by any chance do you connect your USB-C to C to a USB a dongle or hub? I did some research and found out USB-C only sends power when the device requests it while USB-A essentially always sends power.
I have tried using a USbC to C cable with a USBC dongle but it does not work. (Wow that was a lot of USB)

USB-C can be used on both the host and device side. It can also support other (higher) voltages and power levels, so it needs a bit more complicated stuff on both sides of the connection to successfully negotiate the type of connection (host/device) and power levels.
