This cable is rated for 3A. At the basic 5V Power Delivery mode this will indeed be limited to 15W charging. However, at up to 3A but using the 20V Power Delivery mode (typical for a laptop) this same cable will deliver up to 60W of charging. And this continues upwards when considering newer Power Delivery modes such as 28V, etc.
USB cables (as is the case for most power cables) are rated for their current carrying capacity rather than total power.
Good luck!

The power (wattage) rating is misleading.

What a piece of junk. I might take one if you paid me $3

Cable is rated for 3A. I use this for a Nintendo Switch and it enables docked mode just fine, indicating it can handle 15V/2.6A without issue.
I've had this cable for nearly six years, no issues.
