I mean, unlike usb-b-connector (where ID and Vbus can be simple GPIOs nearly directly connected to the pins of the connector) for the USB-C the orientation is not a connector's GPIO, but rather some additional not elementary logic.

I don't see the issue, orientation is a property of the connector itself,
even if it's provided by another ic.
