USB PD EPR (extended power range, i.e. more than 100 w) was released in 2021. The relevant eu directive here was passed in 2022 for rules to take effect in 2024 and 2026.
I think writing a 1-year-old spec into the law might be jumping the gun.
Escape velocity does scale with (square root of) radius so its not a dumb thought.
And I'm not a rocket surgeon but I could imagine earth rockets might be operating near some physical limits that make a 50% increase (or whatever) infeasible.
I think you are using the terms in a colloquial sense whereas i am using a technical sense.
In my view the distinction between a cable and a wire is one of construction, not what it's carrying.
Wire = a continuous length of conductor electrically connecting one thing to another
Cable = one or more wires, with electrical insulation between them, generally enclosed in an outer jacket suitable for end user handling. It could be transmitting usb data or 32kW at 800V and still be a cable.
Data is encoded physically by the modulation of electrical characteristics (voltage, frequency, current, phase), which is effected by the motion of electrical charge, which is what we call...current.

In the US, in states that charge sales tax, the merchant is generally supposed to charge sales tax. And if they don't, the purchaser is generally supposed to pay a "use tax" that is the same amount as what the sales tax would have been.
The latter pretty much never happens though, because there isn't the tax infrastructure to do that for individuals.
The graph is neat.
Saving some people a click: the cut-off y scale in the OP image is in 0.1% increments. So the lowest point is a little above 99.5%
