My Switch 2 Pro Controller and Joy Con 1 charging grip both charge fine off a Samsung 25W charger with an IKEA USB C to C cable (on a sidenote, IKEA of all places do great chargers and cables, way better prices too), as well as a Samsung USB C to A cable connected to my PC’s front ports. Perhaps the cables he was using were old or defective in some way? Although that stream did make me think the whole time that Nintendo (and also Sony) should just use regular AA batteries like the Xbox controllers.
The Switch 1 Pro Controller also worked fine in the past with a third party cable (it was some sort of phone charger, I can’t remember the exact model). I haven’t got one at the moment, but if I get the opportunity I will let you know how it goes. However, it is likely going to work due to my Switch 1 Joy Con charging grip charging fine off all the random cables in my house in addition to the one that comes in the box.

That was for the switch 1.
