Gaming laptops draw over 100W. Won’t this eliminate an entire market of laptops that require specialized plugs that can deliver more power? Or else you’ll end up with the dreaded “dies while it’s plugged in” situation.

"...laptops that are rechargeable via a wired cable, operating with a power delivery of up to 100 Watts, will have to be equipped with a USB Type-C port"

From: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20220930IP...

Besides the fact that USB-C was updated to support 240W, laptop can have e.g. two USB-C ports for charging.
USB-C will deliver up to 240W.
