This feels like an advertisement article...single port USB-C PD chargers with 20-30W output in the <$10 range are not at all hard to find already.

Quality, higher-wattage ones are harder to come by at that price (e.g. 45W and up are $20+ for decent brands), but I can get a 2-pack of name-brand (Anker) 20W chargers for $10-15.

I'm guessing Ikea is just rebranding crappy chargers, so no thank you, I would rather not have my phone, tablet, etc get broken because I was too cheap to spend an extra $10 on a better brand charger.

Big Clive has done teardowns of IKEA chargers before and rates them highly for quality and safety.
