You could get cheap cables that don't have all conductors and/or the shielding wasn't up to spec but that stuff hasn't changed a bit over the decades: USB, DisplayPort and HDMI have the exact same problem.
I'm kind of curious to see if plugging my phone (which charges via USB-C) into my laptop's charger (which plugs into one of my laptop's USB-C ports would blow it up.
I obviously won't do it, but I'm still curious.
I'm glad that there's sort of an agreed-upon standard for phone chargers now, but you're right that it's also a bit of a problem.
Go ahead and do it. USB-C charges slowly and safely until both sides negotiate a faster but still safe charging speed.
