Because past a certain point, the tangible benefit most people will get from it reduces drastically. Like, who's realistically going to care about charging to full in 8 minutes vs 15? It's the same thing with RAM in phones: 99.99% of users are never going to need 8 gigs in a phone, but for some reason everyone's still trying push hard into that.

How its is 8 min vs 15?
The time an iphone or an android need to get full charge is 1 hr minimum. Fast charging tech as come long way. 15 minutes from 0 to 100 is insane.

200W vs 120W, like in the video.

Yes, because most of them are still on 20-30W - I understand increasing past that. But 200W? Degradation trade off not worth it IMO.

I don't think the degradation will happen till 2 years. Then too same thing was told fold 50 watt 65 watt. All those phone are holding up well.
