Considering that charging is the most dangerous thing a cable can do You must not have been around for the era when data exfiltration via charging cables and bricks was a thing. Buy a charging cable from some random Chinese reseller on Amazon, and bingo — data in your phones goes back to the PRC. I still have about five little black USB security dongles in my drawer from this era. They only allowed the charging pins to connect to the phone or computer. The data lines are physically disconnected. We used to call them "charging condoms."
