Even the voltage is not matching spec (Pi power supply has 5.1 volts, not 5.0 volts!). That is because historically Pi had shitty cables, with high resistance and voltage drops. 5V5A is not even in spec, limit for 5 volts is 3 amps!
> fire hazard than 20V5A
That would be 100 watts! Many people just grab any usbc cable, and solder it directly to GPIO power pins. But good luck with that!
Initial batches of Pi4 did not even had a resistor, to request 3.0 amps!

5.1 volts is 2% off 5.0 volts. I don't have a copy of the USB specs, but a voltage 2% higher than nominal is almost certainly within specifications.
