As disappointingly non-standard as USB-C products have proven to be, at least they are much better than this.

Edit: Just happened upon this illustrative paragraph on pcmag.com

The cable is the final obstacle. Thunderbolt 3 and 4 cables are always good for up to 100 watts, but for USB-C docks, a special USB-C cable is required for more than 60 watts. To make things easier, you'll want to be sure that the dock bundles a compatible charging cable, and if not, you'll want to shop for a USB-C charging-specific cable capable of handling the wattage you need. Important note: Not all third-party USB-C charging cables rated for up to 100 watts support USB 3 speeds! Many (indeed, plenty) are USB 2.0-capable only. For example, the Apple USB-C Charge Cable (1 m) only supports up to 60 watts, while the Apple USB-C Charge Cable (2 m) supports up to 100 watts. Shop carefully.

At least we finally have standardization between Androids and iPhones

I visited my friend the other day and my phone was low, so I took the playstation controller off charge and plugged in my Android phone instead. A while later, her iPhone was low battery, so we charged her phone instead, with the same wire. It's not much, but it made me happy.

Some charging is better than no charging, eh?
