I never knew that USB-C extensions are not allowed for a reason (www.youtube.com)

There is a reason for USB-C extensions not to be part of the standard. They can be bothersome in the best case and dangerous in the worst.

I have a 240W extension from AliExpress, used with a 120W power for my laptop, it never gets hot even when using 100+W

Because you made sure the cable is rated for more than what you're using it for. The problem is when somebody doesn't do that. A 60W cable hooked up to a 120W power supply, for example.

My highest charger is 65W, that's enough.
