As someone with a bunch of "USB-C" devices that do this, I'd wondered for years why nobody sold these. I recently just found them on Aliexpress in a more finished format (nice-looking case and such), so I'm hopeful they'll start to filter out into the world more. (If you're interested, do a search for "usb c resistor" and you'll find them for ~$2-$4.)
As positive as I can be without having bought one just yet. The ones I've seen specifically say they "solve the problem that low power devices cannot be powered via C to C", that they support 480Mbps data transmission, and are listed as 5.1K ohm resistor adapters.

Are you sure they aren't C-to-C data blockers?
