Maybe he's talking about the pi 4, which did have usb-c power issues on its first revision. https://bgr.com/tech/raspberry-pi-4-usb-c-charging-issue-how-to-fix-the-power-problem
Current pi4's and all pi5's don't have that problem.
The Pi 5 wants 5A and 5V, which I believe [citation needed] isn’t supported by USB-PD:

This article about usb-pd lists 5v 5A as an available option https://www.howtogeek.com/769888/what-is-usb-power-delivery-usb-pd/
