A chip can literally just contain basic logic gates. Your aversion to them is based on pure Qanon fiction
"But what if they start putting fries in my ports? I can't have fries without any ketchup!"
My aversion to them is an aversion to unnecessary overhead. A cable is a cable, it shouldn't be a third device.
No, the chip is a microcontroller with firmware. You can try to do it in pure logic but it’s a waste of effort and development resources.
