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.

    Yeah, I won’t buy another one again, but now that I have one, I don’t want to e-waste it just because the cable is too short.

    Electric fire danger is really changing my opinion on this though.

      This risk is a bit exaggerated. If you’re charging a phone or even a non gaming laptop, most extensions are still fine. Of you try to push 240W over a cheap Amazon basics cable… Yeah no.
