Isn’t USB-C at high power kind of expensive per watt?

USB-C is not royalty-free, either.

I don't think it's too expensive if you consider the environment impact not to mention the bad user experience caused by multiple chargers. I also believe at certain point the economies of scale should make it less expensive.
