PD is not just for high power. It's for faster charging. Only IQ-deficiency photographers can't think what the fast charging mean.

So the reason for Canon to make it proprietary is not because they care so much about the user experience and the battery's ability to be charged faster. It's because they want you to buy their "accessories".

Amazing! You are completely wrong about this, despite this thread containing all the information about PD:

First, the PD spec is not proprietary. It is a standard available to any manufacturer to use. You do know what proprietary means, right?

Second, because it is a standard, there are lots of non-Canon alternatives for PD chargers.

Thus, it cannot be a PD input because Canon wants you to buy their accessories since you do not have to use any Canon accessory to charge these cameras by usb-c.
