This is a debate, not an argument, let's be adults about this. [Insert political joke]

What I'd rather see is a standardization of PD installed in houses. That is, as part of the electrical installation a high capacity PD power supply is installed, and USB C sockets available on all power sockets. It would be more efficient to do a one-off central supply.

The problem is, that PD supports many voltages, so there'd need to be some way to dynamically generate those.

But, a good DC house supply would be a good thing and easier to provide some kind of battery backup for.

i started swapping out outlets with a dual usb-c model. quite bulky, and from the sounds of it not very efficient

Yeah, there'a many in socket options. Sometimes they're too big for standard recesses too. I'm thinking more of a central solution.
