It’s a 60 W cable, so how about you write 60 W on it

Why did my house burn down, I only put 60w of 5v through the 60w cable?

Because you bypassed the PD chip. With great current comes great responsibility.

While you’re at it, consider dropping to just 100 mV and keeping the power at 60 W to see what happens. Should be interesting.
