Your phone doesn't have that much energy stored in it. 5 watt hours or so? Now consider the energy cost of making usb-c cords
The charging pad itself probably requires a USB-C cable itself? It takes much more materials to make them than a cable...
It doesn't have plugging and unplugging cycles and doesn't get bent in different directions, so it will basically never break unless you use the phone while holding the charging pad
