hot take but I solve this by not buying any usb-c cable that isn't 100W compatible lol. I have some "full spec" cables that do video, and many more that are just charge-only/usb 2.0, but everything is 100W capable. Charge cables get marked with some nail polish on the connector body when I take them out of the package.
The "fasgear" brand on amazon have worked well for me and they actually have 3-meter cables that do full 100w charging, right angle connectors for laptops/etc, and they have a usb 4-compatible lineup (that I have not tried). A 2m charge cable is $7 a pop and 3m is $11 (they run coupons on both frequently that take it down another 10% or so) but whatever, that's just kinda what it costs to not have to worry about it.
cables that come with things go into a baggie in The Bin Of Solitude where they shall remain untouched until my descendents clean them out after I pass. "But what if I really really need a low-spec charge cable at some hypothetical point in the future!?!? you never know when it'll be 2012 again, buddy."
gonna suck when 140W or whatever comes out and my cables won't do it but... I guess they'll still work at 100W. Hopefully. I guess it's not guaranteed either, thanks USB-IF.
