Phones with large batteries charge in about an hour with USB C high speed charging. Not available for charging Canon batteries. Why not? [...]

Mostly due to the lack of heat management in the current bodies with USB-C sockets. You should only charge as fast as the device can displace heat away from the battery, which the current design can't do with the amount of air and plastic between the battery and the outside world.
