The issue is that a USB charger is not a USB power supply. A charger does its best, but makes no guarantee of constant power delivery or duty cycle. The power supply absolutely must provide its rated output at 100% duty cycle.

There's also the fact that devices would still need an internal PSU to convert the 28v USB-C to the multiple voltages that all the parts inside need. It would be smaller without the AC to DC conversion though.
