When Anker first came out a 5+ years ago, they were the go to on phone charging cables due to their durability, warranty, and price when compared to the field.
Since they've built up a huge customer base (I get multiple e-mails from them on various throw-away shopping e-mail addresses weekly), they advertise heavily, with more and more expensive products. Their chargers and cords are now way above the price of the competition.
Some don't mind paying $40+ for a wall charger...especially the ones who have to connect their devices all day long and have to do it as quick as possible...and thus they need every watt of juice they can get, as fast as they can.
My phone can last all day easily on an overnight charge....so I'm not one of those types.
But your premise about the expensiveness of Anker overall is warranted...but some are willing/needing to pay for their extra costs to stay charged and connected.​

This specific charger provides a lot more advantages/features over the those cheaper (and still good) chargers
- Multiple USB-C and at least one USB A port. Really fills the need for folks who have a phone, laptop/tablet/, and a watch which usually use USB A ports.
- The power division for the above use case is perfect when using all 3 (45W + 30W + 18W)
- It sucks to have so many different fast charging standards, but this one seems to support most (that I know?) PD, PPS, QC, whatever the hell all those mean.
So, yeah, I dont like the price, but I understand why this one costs more. These things have just gotten more complex, thus increasing the development, and manufacturing costs.Basically, what we pay is what we get.

I have a handful of BASEUS chargers that run nowhere near the wattage advertised, heat up to ridiculous temps even when not at load, and are generally subpar.
Seriously, if any of y'all have something that tracks charging wattage, test your chargers. I bet most are far from advertised.
