Very unlikely. The standard might be a mess but the device signals what voltage it needs and the charger delivers. You don't need to live in fear that plugging you phone charger into your laptop is going to destroy it.
Your Switch can be charged by any of your USB-C chargers. The only issue is docking, it is not related to USB-C charging.

- teruakohatu 6y agoIf you have a hostile charger all bets are off the table, but the cheap USB-C chargers just do 5v/3A (or less current) and the USB-PD chargers all use one of a few controller chips.
- izacus 6y ago> Assuming you trust that the negotiation is implemented correctly... Well, if you use a proprietary plug and charger, you need to assume the same thing. A cheap broken iPhone charger with proprietary dedicated Lightning port will fry it the same way as a cheap broken USB-C charger will fry a USB-C phone.
- kalleboo 6y agoSame thing with microUSB though, Qualcomm QuickCharge chargers (for Android phones) can already fry your phone with 12 V
