However, this is far from a fast charging option for anything unless your reference is the old freebie Apple 5W (5V 1A) charger.
These would be great for convenience charging, or replacing a basic supply (e.g. - small vanity mirrors or basic smart devices). However, those seeking a proper "fast" charging option or something more appropriate for devices like a tablet or laptop would do better with models like the Leviton T5635 as it supports higher voltage Power Delivery modes (9V and 15V) beyond the basic 5V. There are also newer Legrand models which can also similarly support 30W into a single port.

- You have some existing application of higher power modes (tablet, laptop, etc.)
and/or- Your installation labor cost is non-zero and
- Your installation labor cost (from above) is greater than the half the difference in price between a discount model like the Legrand in this deal ($26) vs. a higher power model like the T5635 (as low as $36 on Amazon under ASIN B07PTWG5DV). That's a $5 rate in this specific example.
If you don't foresee needing the higher voltage/power modes the something like the Legrand could be justified. However, if you have any existing application that could use higher power (e.g - a tablet or laptop) that alone would justify consideration of a model like the more expensive Leviton. Also worthy of consideration is the idea that you don't want to replace this unit again in the future (i.e. - you assign a non-zero dollar value to your time). This second group also suggests that the choice of something like the T5635 (being very close in price to the Legrand unit) is a pretty easy YES.This decision tree should work similarly with even higher power and, by definition. even more expensive models like the T5636 from Leviton. Again, without an existing use-case most any lower cost options can be justified. But, when you consider the value of your DIY time, you can likely find plenty of room for a little "overspending" in a category like wall outlets if you choose/prefer.
Good luck!

The challenge is invariably that USB-C charging is a specification... which every manufacturer then determines how to implement. In this case, the charger manufacturer and charging device manufacturer hopefully both implemented the specification generously enough that their devices handshake and optimize performance. Even the big name companies have done some shenanigans [daringfireball.net] in this area. Of course, the brand X companies often function well here because they allow the widest operation according to the specification, but this, too, has upsides and downsides.
This was the reason why my decision tree first asked if the buyer had an existing application. Future-proofing sounds great, and in something like an installed device like this has justification potential given the labor costs, but all that falls apart when your 56K modem never negotiates 56K. (Sorry, couldn't resist dating myself)

More importantly though, almost all the ones you can purchase have all these usb ports in a vertical orientation, which ISN'T enough room to plug two wall wart plug types into the remaining regular outlets. These USB C's being horizontal is a huge boon for that particular circumstance.

Negative is they split the charge when two cables are in, even if only one device is charging so I typically keep 1 USB cable in with a second one in a drawer near by if I need it.
Personally if I was going to make heavy use of these for high dollar devices, I would also budget and plan for whole-house surge protection

Don't the tiny circuit boards in brand name usb adapters and wall outlets have tiny resistor/fuses designed to blow in case of over voltage/amperage?
