I've had to get new bloody chargers every phone (which admittedly isn't too often) because the Chinese phones I buy have significant increases in charge speed.
Charging for five hours isn't particularly attractive to save resources on a $20 charger. However if you had more expensive smarter chargers in the first instance that could have firmware updates and more repairability, then you'd avoid the need to update (e.g. the first 100W usb power delivery standard was agreed almost a decade ago).
I do wish phones were more repairable though - I've accidentally cracked a replacement screen and stabbed a battery in the past when replacing broken bits on my phone.

The Xiaomi Mi Ultra 10 charges at like 100 watts.
You don’t have to charge it at warp speed, though. Everything still charges at the standard USB spec, it’s just slower.
