I think you're mis-informed.

Teslas can easily charge at other branded recharging stations; mostly you never see it as there is no point. The Tesla ones are good. There are adaptors to all / most public charging stations for cheap. I keep a few, and my wall-charger (for 120/220v outlets) in the front-trunk.

Non-Teslas charging at Tesla stations is new/not really a thing though.

Not to mention that EV owners charge at their house overnight 99% of the time so the notion that you have to use "one brand" is a gross misunderstanding

True. I installed a L2 charger for <$1k all in, and basically only charge once, maybe twice a week at $0.115/kwh. Superchargers are generally $0.33-60/kwh.
