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.

At this point I think we're probably talking past each other. You don't actually acknowledge half the points I've made, and the ones you do acknowledge aren't really germane to the main point I was making about the correlation between push, resistance, and heat buildup being dangerous, especially when combined with an older and potentially less safe extension cord in use. So I'm gonna leave it. This conversation doesn't feel like it's going anywhere.
