You people are missing the fucking point. Not all USB-C chargers are the same. It's just the shape of the connector. There are many power delivery standards and not all will drive your laptop.
It would be so stupid if every USB-C charger was forced to deliver enough power for a laptop. They would have to be much bigger and also more expensive without offering any benefit when charging smaller items.
The good thing about USB is that my laptop charger can also charge my phone or my wireless earbuds, so when I'm travelling, I only have to bring the charger for the biggest device I'm using.
