I buy good quality cables and still have to throw out half of them as failures. When devices start up, that temporary power draw is enough to drop the voltage. And it is not just with a Pi.you can attach whatever length usb-c cables you want
For charging the battery in a phone, the voltage does not need to be stable or reliable to the level you need for electronic circuits. My spare chargers are rated for enough power to easily run a Pi 4 but only work reliably with a Pi Zero 2 as they do not stay on voltage during peak consumption.
