> the solution is to not buy cheap junk.

And, of course, never ever use a cable you didn't buy? No borrowing one from your friends, no using the office charger, etc.?

That sounds like a restriction nearly no one would adhere to.

Now they won't be able to use my perfectly fine, USB-IF certified cable to charge their devices fast. The cable supports 100W, is certified, but not by Apple.
