Agree, personally I'd would never even try to see if a 100W plug would damage a device wich has other specs, or if on a standard there might be some safety enclousures. As mentioned in the topic also because it could depend on manufactures how much that plug would fit its quality's specs.
I'm quite surpised how the megastores keeps them up, since some decade several local shops did closed because of them, but honestly, going to search a cable or some other plugs in there will (at least here in EU, but I don't think it may be that different elsewhere) result on adapters/cables/plugs for Apple (ok, them market-policy is also based on support thought), or some specific Samsung, and the cheap rest of the world... like if someone searches a good cable, to buy it once, there is none: also just a choose from few brands, cables made of plastic that doesn't has clear written specifics (as mentioned before).
I mean those buys might fit if someone searches a quick, but implying that most of buyers has internet, choosing the latter opens to a more quality standard (and my rant is that that option isn't even on the megastores, so often there is no "can I pay 3-6$ more and have a silicone cable, a knew brand, ecc..." none.
Often I came back on some specific shops - rare -, that survived the timeline: e.g. a connector that does DVI to VGA: searched on all the stores (several), not one piece of it; then went on that local old shop, the cashier rotated and opened a drawer that was full of that specific connectors, just in there, in the counter's front.
