Universal compatibility means just that.
Apple offers a wide variety of USB-C chargers that correspond to the many models of MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro it’s made that remain available or that it offers replacements for. You might think because these are so specific, like a 29W or 140W charger, that you must use exactly that wattage adapter for a given device.
Fortunately, that’s not the case. While true before the widespread adoption of the USB-C plug type by Apple and everybody else, USB-C makes it even easier as there’s only a single kind of jack you can plug into any port. Power management is a fundamental part of USB generally; USB-C improved on it by allowing for power to flow either direction on a cable (and by adopting the most advanced parts of the USB trade group’s power delivery specification).
