TL;DW: Fast charging over 2 years only degraded the battery an extra 0.5%, even on extremely fast charging Android phones using 120W.

And with that, hopefully we can put this argument to rest.

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
