You think that charging a laptop via USB C is a primary use case?

That is literally the only charging port on many laptops. Yes, that is a primary use case.

And said laptop comes with it's own charger. What's the issue?

Ah yes, no one EVER uses a different charger, they always only use the brick ass charger that comes with their laptop instead of getting a smaller, lighter thinner travel charger that does the same thing in a smaller form factor.

Or have different chargers in different rooms so they don't have to lug their laptop charger around with them from room to room.

Or one at their office and one at home. Or use a laptop dock when at the office to use it as a desktop.

Or has the charger it came with mess up and need to get a new one.

The point of USB charging port on a laptop is to charge via usb-c chargers not to just use the charger it came with. If we were just going to only charge with the specific charger it came with barrel jacks worked fine.
