You need electronics to utilize more than 2.4A/5V basic power. If you want to be able to input anything above that, you need a chip.

The Bitcrane is a Antminer controlboard replacement hack/tool. It has USB, but is not a higher-power device like a Bitaxe.
This is the issue exactly. Even USB-C PD with the chip you mention can’t provide enough power at 5V. I’m working on this for larger multi-chip Bitaxe though.
