Is that really the case?! Wow. I've used a USB-C car charger from Anker with the Switch and not given it a second thought. I recall reading that the Switch had odd or picky behavior but I didn't think that it could be damaged by non-Nintendo equipment.

It's not. It's an issue with the Switch Docks and it's counterfeits. Chargers are okay.
