Maybe ditch the CH224K?

Supply chain issues of covid years and my 20+ years experience in electronics have taught me that it is wise not to develop a product around someone else's proprietary product, that could go obsolete, disappear or become difficult to get. Huge problems, on top of it costing money. So the chip could probably be discarded? According to this arduino code for QC3, it is possible to interface the USB directly, completely ditching the chip. Implementing this in code would possibly allow future upgrades for QC4 and QC5, that offer power levels above 100W. Anyone tried this?
