im going to bet they just havent shifted their supply chains over yet. . i mean, i think it is happening but this shit takes a long time to fall out. it takes years to setup all the materials needed to create this stuff. it takes years to make substantial changes to them while they use up old stock, design new shit and then have to modify assemply a resource changes to get that stuff. and thats years before it hits your shelf.
i think there also might be a ceiling to usbc… my thinkpad lappy has a 230w power supply. can usb-c do that?
at some point (we may already be there) usbc components will be so ubiquitous where it matters in manufacturing regions that youll see literally everything under a certain voltage using it
There’s almost no support for PD that high yet across devices. It will definitely take some time to roll out. The only laptop I know that supports it is the Framework 16, and it requires an extra purchase of a $150 charger.

The latest USB-C Power Delivery Standard should do 240w, but not all USB-C ports are rated for it.

Nor are a lot of cables. 100W is far more likely, at least for a while, since that was a standard for a fair while as it is.
