Of course, whether anyone needs or can even use such functionality with their device is a whole other question.
Good luck!

However, this charger is of greater value to those with a newer Macbook capable of activating the up to 60W operation. Considering that the Apple Dynamic Power adapter comes in a package comparable to the current Apple 20W charger, the price premium for this unique kind of fast-charging adapter is more understandable. This charger could be the one adapter to replace them all if you have the very specific combination of devices and are tempted by the idea of a single, compact travel charger for all your devices. However, this charger provides little to no added value outside a limited subset of (mostly) Apple equipment relative to a basic Power Delivery charger (30W models often available under $10).

A good example of marketing gimmickry would be the claims surrounding the new Anker Nano 45W cube with the display.
It claims to intelligently recognize and communicate with a device, and take steps to "care" for it by adjusting to lower temps and supply power using a progressive curve.
In truth, what it is doing is advertising lower power modes to the device, and describing a standard charging curve as special, with the "TÜV-certified" bit as the cherry on top.
The device is what calls the shots in the charging process, in response to what the power source offers. Not the other way around, or the tail wagging the dog.
The Nano will also quickly become obsolete, because the device ID lookup tables it contains are hard coded in the firmware. The feature is already limited to iPhones, but when the iPhone 18 series appears in the fall, the Nano won't recognize them and display their names on the display, and can't be updated to do so.
Apply these principles to something like the Baseus AE21 100W adapter with the display, and it should properly be advertised as an 80W adapter with 100W capability. When asked to supply a sustained 100W, it will heat up and throttle down to 80W after approx. 20 minutes. Its little brother, the compact 67W AE11, won't throttle, but get very hot if asked to operate at full capacity for sustained periods.
Other products are similar and will similarly throttle down. The worst just shut down entirely.
In short, while the norm is to describe products based on peak capacities in a slightly misleading manner, what Apple is doing with this product is more truthful and transparent.
As noted above, AVR is a slightly different approach to what PPS does, but is a mandatory part of the PD 3.2 spec, so it will be available to every device/adapter combo that meets the latest spec, and avoid the frequent "does it have PPS or support Samsung SFC" type questions.

It's truth in advertising, being honest that it's an adapter than can sustain 40W continuously, but "overboost" to 60W for shorter periods when conditions permit.

[TLDR: about 22 minutes before throttling back]
Good luck!

That's compounded by then calling it "TÜV-certified Care Mode" like it's a special feature vetted by the lab.
I don't have any issues with the product itself, or the screen, but the marketing is laying it on thick for some ordinary things, on a product that many already see as gimmicky from the start.
Quite the opposite of Apple's adapters, which on the whole are well-made, durable, and simply do their job without being flashy (and honestly advertised in this instance).
But that approach doesn't garner clicks.
