I've been using the Apple USB-C multi port adapter thing since I got one free from a previous job, it seems overpriced since I can see a lot of similar ones much cheaper from competitors, but I've also never had an issue with it in any configuration on any device including non Apple ones. While I regularly see people having issues with the cheaper ones from Dell or Amazon sellers. So maybe you really are getting something extra when you pay for the Apple one.

Teardowns of accessories tend to show that to be true. Any similarly built product tends to cost even more thanks to Apple volume.

And this tiny thing proves to be labeled 40W while actually delivering 60W safely which is nuts:
