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.

The funny thing is the breaker only costs $0.01 to include, but could prevent a house fire. Crazy we don't demand it in all of our cords

British cables are fused in the plug, and it's a pain in the ass. I don't see the problem with a breaker that just drops the whole circuit if something goes whoopsie.
