That will only make the chargers larger to provide the max theoretical limit of the standard. Converting AC to DC generate heat. I think electrical wall outlets needs to be updated to serve the modern reality. They should have USB-C port(s) as default and have a charger/inverter behind it.
The local library fitted USB ports but they were all 'slow', so students continued to plug in their 240V AC wall chargers.
USB PD at airports and hotels would solve country-specific adapters but from a security aspect, my mother taught me never to trust an unknown USB port.

You've been able to get USB-A ones for years. I have some that do 5V/2.1A, so a little over 10W. Not fast charging, but enough to run and slowly charge a phone, charge a laptop overnight, run one of those mini PS-1 things

I'll wait for USB-D chargers (Score:2)
Maybe by then they can decide on some universal standard like we had with USB-A (5V@500mA)
