I think you corrected me before. Maybe this time it will stick.
I don't understand why the USB-C module that they are using doesn't include the resistors. Then they can replace the microUSB module with USB-C module and have it work.

On the other hand: the resistor itself is basically free, and you are already putting a few dozen of them on your final PCB anyways. Adding one more resistor value barely changes the assembly process.
The people who are willing to skimp on USB-C resistors are definitely not going to splurge on a custom drop-in connector module, so it would not solve any real problem. The resistor-less devices are broken because their manufacturers do not care that they are broken. You can't engineer yourself out of that kind of greed and apathy.
