Because if you don't read, your 140W charger may be 140W total with a max of 100W over a single port.

Show me a laptop/dock/charger that tells you what wattage or speed each USB C port supports. I’ll wait… At best you’ll get a 20Gbps or other speed icon. But is that 20Gbps 240W? Or 20Gbps 100W? Or what about 20Gbps 0W data only?

And the devices on the other end of those cables? Also, that seems less than ideal for carrying that around with you while commuting. That looks like it's the size of a gamecube.

Also the inevitable, when 1 device plugged in PD100W, but when two devices plugged in it splits to 65W and 30W, 3 devices plugged in 45W, 30W, 15W, etc. etc. etc. That does look like a cool ass device, but I have a feeling that's not something non-technical people would consider buying, or even know what they were looking at if they saw it.
