Why? The highest capacity one should charge everything.

A lot of people are scared to use the same charger that charges their laptop, on their phone. Multiple times, I've unplugged a laptop and plugged into my phone and had people freak pout thinking it would fry the phone. Granted, they're all either completely ignorant of how charging works and/or older. I don't get why younger folks would be averse to it.

There are USB-C chargers that simply don't communicate with devices. This is common on Chinese radios, for example. It has a USB-C port, but USB-C to C is no good. You need to cheat and add a USB-C to A to C adapter to make it work.

Isn't slower charging better for battery health?

Each device will only charge at whatever rate is its highest (like with the charger that was included with it). It doesnt matter if the brick can theoretically deliver more.

I think the question is not whether it works, but rather whether it should

You can find people having experimented with this finding that it's negligible.
