They definitely don’t. The USB C cord that came with the previous MacBook Pros were power only as are a lot of other USB C cables especially ones that come with headphones.
The maximum wattage of the little USB C cable that comes with headphones certainly don’t support a minimum wattage that will charge a large iPhone at any appreciable speed.

Which ones? The posts I can find say they do USB 2.0

Those cables don't meet the standard, then. The minimum is 3 amps and a single pair of data wires. And that doesn't require much, especially for a little 6 inch cable.
Where in the law did it mention a minimum wattage?
Now we've gone in a circle. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33365040
If the law mandates USB C, then it mandates 3 amps for cables.
