Yeah, that's interesting, isn't it?IIRC, the USB spec doesn't allow currents above 5A, so this bit of the spec is nonsense. However, the 5V15 5A mode is what the Pi5 requires when well loaded.
I've seen a number of threads discussing the fact that if the Raspberry Pi processor and onboard components are consuming 25 watts, and if it also needs to supply power to other devices like SSDs, cameras, and the like via USB / GPIO / etc., then it's going to need more than 25 watts and will thus need to draw more than 5 amps. I presume that this board was made to fit that scenario. If the RPi violates the USB spec by drawing more than 5 amps at 5 volts, then the board will also violate the USB spec by delivering more than 5 amps at 5 volts.
