I suspect this is due to USB-C providing a maximum power of 100 watts. This was a classic design trade off. “We can support an industry standard and thus allow ubiquitously available chargers to be used with the device, with the trade off being that the chargers can’t keep up when the device is run continuously at full throttle.”

Then it’s a question of how many are impacted and how often, how support for USB-C factors in to the decision to purchase, etc., etc.
