No. It's part of the USB standard.

Google is one of the biggest proponents, it's been used for all of their phones from the Pixel 5x/6p era (2015) on. Samsung, Motorola, LG, Xiaomi, Oneplus, Asus, etc are all switching to it.

One of the advantages is that it can supply higher power, so even laptops can comfortably use it as their power source. Many new Windows tablets/laptops and Chromebooks are using it, as well.
