USB connector was not simply designed for 10 amps or how much they push through it.

USB-C has a new connector and specifies voltages up to 20V, which will cut the amperage vs. old 5V USB chargers by a factor of four.

If they use the current 45 watt charger power, at the maximum 20V allowed by USB-C, you're looking at about 2.6 amps.
