There is a reason for USB-C extensions not to be part of the standard. They can be bothersome in the best case and dangerous in the worst.

Because you made sure the cable is rated for more than what you're using it for. The problem is when somebody doesn't do that. A 60W cable hooked up to a 120W power supply, for example.

My highest charger is 65W, that's enough.
