It is similar to how "SuperSpeed" is still used to describe USB 3.0 at 5 Gbps. It looks like SuperSpeed became standard in 2008. Since then, USB 4 has reached speeds of 40 Gbps, with 80 and even 120 Gbps on the horizon.
"Fast charging", "Super fast charging", and "SuperSpeed" are unfortunately accepted as specific marketing terms. Which means that while they are antiquated and misleading, they are technically still valid terms.
Side note: Most mobile device greatly slow down their charging speeds based in part by how full the battery is. Many tests have demonstrated devices supporting 25W+ when the battery is almost empty. But the speeds often end up around something unexpected like 10W by the time the battery is half or two-thirds full. That takeaway being that using a 25W charger isn't a clear 2.5x speedup over a 10W charger like you may think.

30W with PPS vs 20W with only two 5V and 9V PDOs.
It's also more compact, has folding prongs, and a 2-year warranty, vs. 90-day on this.
Objectively, too many factors that make it superior for not much more dough.

I also like the Iniu 30w chargers in the 2 pack that come up once a month for around for $9 with very nice cables.

Even if you use a higher watt charger it still won't pull the full wattage the entire time. It will pull less power before the end for the sake of preventing overheating. This is why they brag about how fast it charges to 50% and not to 100%.
20W charger is not much different than a 40W when it comes to a phone. Might even put less wear on your phone battery due to less heat, especially if you plug your phone in while you sleep every night.
