Can you define how it's worse at it's primary job? I have two laptops. One with a old school barrel plug and the other with USBC, and the USBC charges faster as it has more wattage. So.. id like to hear how you define worse?

This is not a limitation of the barrel plug, it's a limitation of your laptop or charging brick not being able to use or provide a higher rate. I have a barrel plug laptop with a 170W adapter. USB-C chargers above 100W move into 'exotic' range and none go above 100W at 20V, the cables can't move that much current without heating up.
