If you're discounting protocol and pinout why not just change the connector too while you're at it?

  Because someone said physics won't comply, and that's silly. We're well within the physical limits of power delivery that won't catch fire. Also as a sibling comment states, it's arguably not a worse violation of those things than the existing ability to change voltage.

    Review the cross sectional area of a USB cable, review NEC ampacity for stranded conductors, and get back to me.

      What? The hypothetical was reusing the plug, not reusing existing cables. The person you were responding to explicitly mentioned that the cables would need to be upgraded. For example, a full-size extension cord can be soldered to a USB-C plug without much difficulty. Whatever wire gauge you want, it can be done. The bottleneck is the pins, and there's 24 of them.
