I really love mine, I can run a single cable from the charger up to my desk, then the cable splits into two so I can plug in both my laptop and my phone.
Most chargers with multiple USB-C ports will actually split the total output power between whichever ports are in use. So a 65W charger will output either 65W on one USB-C port or 30W across two USB-C ports. Therefore if you want to charge multiple devices from one charger, you either split the power at the charger by plugging multiple devices directly into the charger, or split the power using this cable, there isn't much of a difference. ā
ā This cable does introduce some inefficiency, and it will also prioritize charging one device first. USB-C power delivery is extremely complicated and this cable cannot handle the full spectrum of possible behaviors (e.g. it can carry 140W of power to a single device, but if you plug in a 2nd device, it might not be able to split that much power so it will downgrade to carrying 100W of power, and then split that across two devices).
Anyways, it's not perfect, but it saves so much space compared to carrying two separate cables that I just don't care. And when charging only a single device it behaves exactly like a regular USB-C cable and retains full USB-C power delivery capabilities, so I can get that guaranteed full 140W power if necessary.

Those are $150+ cables, not to be confused with these cheap ones you buy off Amazon. Those cables are likely left around corporate offices to steal their data.
Out of all the amazon review pictures, only one shows them using it on dual chargers.
Seems a bit niche
I use mine during vacation. Fewer cables, my only issue is while they say it supports 140w it does not if you have two things connected. For example, I connect my Steam deck which requires 65w and my phone which is a max of 35w it seems like it's not smart enough to distribute what is needed for both. I use the large anker power brick that supports it.

I think that he is saying it is not delivering enough power in real life for him.
that is exactly it. If the steam deck is 45W then I have no idea why now. I use Anker Nano 100W on the top port which is said to push 100W single. I believe it because I've charged my dell laptop before which I know for sure requires 65W.
I've done test with tablet and an S23 and noticed when they are both connected they are both charging a max of around 2100mA. I disconnect the tablet and my phone jumps up to 4000mA. Reconnect it and back at 2100mA. There is something off about connecting no different devices.

When charging two devices at the same time, the total maximum power can reach 130W only if one of the devices requires more than 100W. Otherwise, the total power will not exceed 100W;
Excerpt from one of the buyer's comments allowing for more insight:
... in order to maximize charging speed for both devices, they need to operate at the same voltage. If one device charges at a different voltage than the other, the speed may be reduced, affecting the efficiency.
Overall, looks like this cable might work well under some circumstances, and not so well under different circumstances, and it is difficult to predict its performance upfront.

MacBooks can charge with these through a thunderport 4 port.

That makes it worse then.
