Again, literally all Android manufacturers do the same thing to prevent $2 Amazon USB-C cables from killing devices. Certified cables will likely be $10, just like fast charge compatible USB-C cables for Samsung devices.

Steam deck does the same thing, so do laptops that support USB-C charging.

Except that all "certified" cables are certified not by the manufacturer but by the USB IF. They're just USB Power Delivery cables and they're interoperable across all manufacturers that implement this spec.

The only major standout I've seen in Android land has been OnePlus phones and bricks. Maybe more Chinese manufacturers have their own spec too.

EU legislation demands support for charging with standard USB and USB PD anyway.
