It's really not though? I've never come across an L2 charger that doesn't just work. The DC fast charging is where the problems always arise. At least with an L2 charger, the hotel/apartment can easily track the power consumption being utilized, and also lock it down to only allow charging as they see fit via mobile app, NFC card, or pin. With a 14-50 it's a free-for-all.

I have seen a lot of L2 chargers (J1772) that had broken clips and would not charge my vehicle. Also lots that were just turned off or broken.

Sure, physically broken or turned off chargers aren't going to be magically fixed by making it a 14-50 receptacle though. If people don't care to maintain the charging infrastructure it doesn't matter what it's based on.

My point is: I've never plugged in a working J1772 and had it fail to communicate or fail to charge if it's an otherwise working charger. I've definitely seen that with DC chargers and there are plenty of known issues between certain models of cars and certain brands of DC fast chargers.
