Zimablade chose the same 12v/2a power. It's in the original spec for usb-c pd negotiation.

Client side (device) sets the current draw. Weird take to not use the supplied psu.

Pretty sure a power supply that just puts out 12V on USB-C without any negotiation is not in spec and should be illegal. As the article mentioned, it would damage anything that wasn't expecting 12V, like most things that take 5V USB power.
