10% less efficient?

I think charging my phone loses about 5% in thermal losses at the connector (because it gets warm)

10% is both not important (in this context) and unfortunately optimistic

And this does not even consider the counterfeit adapters many people use. I think wireless might be more efficient than many badly designed adapters.
