This is exactly my argument. It's a stupid marketing decision and inherently ill conceived to make it power giant tablets or laptops.

The idea is One Charger To Rule Them All. Seems like a damn good idea to me, if implementable, which thanks to the very features you're disparaging, it is.
(Also, this means you can have things like displays with both signal and power coming over USB-C. Much better than a separate power cord!)

Bigger than 7" tablets all ought to have a separate coax or other power jack like laptops.

Ugh, why? Inconvenient as hell and something else to drag around and get lost and/or broken.

No USB gadget or host or charger should ever have been more than 1.5 A, even that is generous compared to 1A.
USB = Universal SERIAL Bus. The ability to power was originally to avoid having batteries in peripherals. Charging or desktop power of ANYTHING, shouldn't be the main purpose.

I think the world has left you behind.
