Yes, so true but this is a non-standard extension which is not compatible with USB 2.x specification. (IDK about USB3, maybe that's incorporated there...?)

Luckily there's a protocol between the charger and device for negotiating the supported charging parameters, the newer chargers are not going to blindly push up the voltage to the high limit
