For example, if you only use the USB C port, and that's the only thing plugged in (no USB ports are used), then the device would be able to delivery maximum power to whatever your device is asking for e.g. your ipad. If you have your ipad connected (presumably to the usb c port) and you plug an additional cable into the USB ports, you are actually limiting the power that leaves your USB C port when the device and the connected devices re-negotiate for power
In summary there is a total maximum power a port can potentially deliver, if and only if that is the only port being used by, in this case, a charger that has other ports (usb c, usb). If you read the back of this device it has more details about maximum power, volts/amps, but the average person doesn't really read this kind of stuff so its not necessary

Personally, the anker 615 is the sweet spot for my travel. 45w is plenty to charge my travel laptop even when in use even if i'm using the other usb plugs. The cord also wraps up nicely.

You can also get something similar, with AC ports on each side, for like $9-$14
IMHO its just a far superior setup then trying to combine everything into one unit like this. It packs down smaller, its cheaper, its more versatile, and I have 2 usb c chargers I bring that can each do 100 watts with 2 usb c ports and one usb a, so I have 6 total ports, vs like 3 here with only 1 30 watt usb c port.
Can't please everyone.

There's so many assumptions that go into: this is the best way, this is the only way. What if I told you their approach is the lazy one? Could argue for FIFO, or more convincing, for marginal contribution approaches - no re-negotiation, no dropping power momentarily, no annoying "someone else plugged in their device and mine dropped" cases.
I'll grant this whole thing amounts to a pet peeve, but given a few seconds' thought, pretty obvious many better ways exist. Or in other words, with relatively little extra effort it'd be worth pleasing 80%, even if you can't please everyone.
