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.

    Yes but I was emphasizing the parallels to the USB c problem.

    In USBC if you use a 200 watt cable that has 200 watts going through it and then extend it with a 15 watt USB c cable, the 15 watt cable will over heat.

    If you plug a 30 amp load into a 30 amp cable and then extend it with a 15 amp extension cord, you will get overheating on the 15 amp extension.
