Like any connector that is mass produced it tends to be cheap and with good cables at very small price and thus people tend to use it for other purposes like the 20V input. Well as RJ45 used for serial connections, passive PoE standards that will put 24V on whatever you connect no matter that it can handle it, audio jacks used for analog video or even power, and similar stuff. It’s not obvious that if a connector fits it will work! Is it wrong? To me not, you have to be careful, just as you can plug a 3kW space heater with an extension cord with a 0.75mm2 cable and burn your house down you can use the wrong usb C connector (that will unlikely start a fire)
