There is a reason for USB-C extensions not to be part of the standard. They can be bothersome in the best case and dangerous in the worst.

While this is handy to know, it doesn’t negate my point.

IIRC the one that came with my OLED model is 65W

It appears I did not remember correctly

I’m looking at the one for my OLED deck right now and it’s labelled as 45W (20V 2.25A).

The ones I’ve seen that go over 45W specifically for the Steam Deck are mini docks with HDMI out and more
