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.
