Looks like somehow CC1 is shorted to ground on that board. Possibly it's a blob of solder on the USB connector pins or something.

Potentially. Not all third-party (not made by Espressif) ESP32 boards are made to the same quality standards, and some of them seem to test their boards solely with an USB-A-to-C cable which doesn't use the CC lines.
