Just because it's common does not mean these devices are not off spec. They ARE off spec, and the only things you can do are replace with on spec kit or using the matching off spec power supplies.
The wall wart if not off spec. It's just that the wall wart is low power. It's a 20 watt wall wart. The cable however is not a standard USB-C cable as it delivers low power even from a 100 watt charger.
