Yeah, faster charging through high power.

The problem in this ridiculous theory that Canon is correct to require e PD charger is, that the battery is only 1120mAh (iirc) and even the original Canon charger charges it at measly 0.7A, while 10+ year old iPhone (which the user mentions) chargers already do 1.0A, plus non-PD chargers are perfectly capable of doing 2.4A, which is most definitely going to melt this battery anyway.

So the reason for Canon to make it proprietary is not because they care so much about the user experience and the battery's ability to be charged faster. It's because they want you to buy their "accessories".
