Well pretty much everyone is doing that except the Nexus line. Can't really blame them for following the market.
Of course you can When everyone is doing something wrong that can easily cause damage to the device and/or user and/or their property, you can fully expect companies to buck the trend and do the safe and better thing. HTC and LG put out some dangerous devices and so is ZTE with this one. By the time they found out it was dangerous it was probably too late to back the truck up, but that doesn't change the issue - it just means they made a business decision to move forward anyways. That sucks.
It's not a deal breaker, everyone reading these forums has the potential to know not to use a charger that isn't designed for QC 3.0 with those phones and so can safely mitigate and enjoy the device - but for the general public it sucks, because they don't even know there is an issue to be mindful of, let alone the solutions. They definitely aren't aware that merely using the wrong charger can destroy their phone and/or start fires. The OEMs should have been smarter about this and followed the USB C and USB 3.0 or 3.1 specs accordingly. You can still get fast charging by following the specs, just not by using the Qualcomm method.
