I'm definitely interested in the Nano 3 but the power supply being USB C seems.... odd to me.

I'll be following this post with interest
The reason for USB-C or more precisely, USB-C PD, is simple: It is becoming the standard for DC power delivery to small(ish) devices. ref https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/05/new-usb-c-type-2-1-standard-offers-up-to-240-w-power-delivery/
With PD's output voltage being negotiated between devices (5, 9, 12, 15, >20 & now 48v) it is a huge step to a truly 'universal' PSU.

here is what I like about the gan psu’s

switching 5,9,12,15,20,24,28 which is really nice.

but 28 volts pulling 4.5-5.0 amps non stop 24/7/365 means the power cable needs decent change to handle that level of energy.

I looked for three days to find a usb-c cable that has 18 gauge red black power cables.

the best diy i found so far is this usb-c
