By your logic type PD spec is stupid because it is also used in PC. The use cases extend beyond PC. Think video wall system where cabling can be messy and pretty much everyone got their own standard. This would allow a single daisy chain and simpler cabling.
Might be a stupid question but why not displayport instead?
Bigger power delivery spec. The hope is that it should be possible to drive a huge display from a single cable for data and power
it sounds stupid to force through the computer a meaningful amount of energy that is only intended for a peripheral
