Do you require the same for your consoles, controller cables, the cables that power your computer, etc?

Because those are potentially just as big of fire hazards.

Just kidding - the worst fire hazards are non-grounded extension cables you find in homes everywhere. USB-C PD with its 100W doesn't even begin compare to those 1.8kW (or higher) disasters.

Of course I do. I only use electrical cables approved by the government regulatory agency. I won't even allow a Chinese import non-approved charger to be plugged into my house.

And when a grey-market phone that we bought came with a non-original charger, I pressured the seller into providing an original charger. He complied.
