The problem is, the companies selling these units are not very honest about the power ratings of their
products. Apple is by far the worst: they sell two adapters (listed as the ''Apple 87W USB-C Power Adapter'' and the ''96W USB-C Power Adapter'') that are likely the most expensive on the market and are not showing their output ratings in watts but seemingly their power requirements, i.e, not what they __deliver__ but what they __use__. Of course it says nothing about this on the box. It's 87 watts, right?
