This seems a bit of a muddle of a camera review highly slanted by an angry complaint about the cost of a specific accessory, which can bought elsewhere at a cheap cost and not really relevant to most users.

Overpriced official accessories are a general problem across all makes and not unique to Canon.

I realise that a PD charger is need but is a special USB-C cable needed?

I, for one, am glad to not pay extra to have a cable included.  Just like previous versions of USB, we will all eventually have a drawer full of redundant cables if every device you get comes bundled with a cable.

I have two USB-C to USB-C cables, one that came with my PD power bank and the other that came with my Pixel 3 smartphone.  Both work to charge the G5X II with either the power bank or a PD wall charger.  I don't believe there is anything special about these cables.
