>but who would actually choose to charge at a lower speed if it's an actual choice?

A lot of the chargers are at supermarkets and such. If you're shopping for 30+ minutes anyway, what's it matter if charging takes that whole time?

not to mention blitz charging a battery isnt ideal for it's health, if you want to maximise the life of your batteries you should be charging them more slowly where possible
Why would I even want to think about that? Never needed to before. Don't need to for technical reasons (faster chargers exist). It's only cheapness to let those old things stand. They may be able to pawn them off on you by telling you to time it with your shopping, but not on me.
