Sure. And support is paying for people that are buying chargers that are too weak. Or otherwise crappy.

This is a Dutch source, but BTO charged 25 eur to remove the charger [0], because they prefer not to deal with people trying their own wonky chargers. Ok, so this was a 100 W+ laptop, arguably different (BTO only does this with 100 W+ models).

BTO does that because their laptops use more than what USB-PD can deliver (240 watt). That is an understandable use case for supplying a power adapter.

Just display a warning during purchase. This is a UI/communication issue. It’s up to the customer to decide whether they want to risk the opt out.

I bought a laptop without a charger the other day, plugged it into a charger I already had, and it works great (even under load). YMMV.
