That's why USB ports are always worse than a proper outlet. Just take your charging brick with you, what's the problem?
USB ports on a wall outlet or power strip are usually much more space efficient than a charging brick.
They're also much less capable though. Have fun finding a USB-C PD port anywhere when you need to charge your laptop - a power outlet is much more useful.
I basically end up using power bricks for laptop and phone, and ports built into a power strip for everything else. Most stuff doesn't need full PD support (but most anker power strips actually support it, just not at very high wattage).
Does nobody have usb to usbc cables?
I don't think you can do the PD standard from a USB a port. Edit: Reading the Wikipedia page, it sounds like usb-a supports PD 1.0 but not 2.0+ and the higher power requirements.
best i can do is a usb-b to usb-c adapter :D
what about USB mini a to USB c?
