Quite a lot of USB-serial adapters cheat at various levels.
The worst output 0/+5V or +/-2.5V either of which are totally outside the
spec at the receiving end.
The acceptable output +/-5V, which i out of spec for a transmitter, but
inside spec for a receiver, so a short or no cable, it works fine.
The good output +/-9V or more as the spec requires.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
