Falsifying certification is unethical. Producing non-spec potentially dangerous cables/chargers for sale is also wrong. Basically, there should be a lot of explaining of why advertised standards, specs, and safety protocols aren't met by oem and non-oem hardware manufacturers/retailers based on independent reviews.
It seems like customers have stopped focusing on purchasing independent lab certified devices or charger companies have realized people like Benson, Nathan, or GTrusted will actually pay to do the certification for them and the relatively small subset of cautious shoppers will read those lists.
