These chargers wouldn’t be pushing 30+W to device at this size if they weren’t also at 20V. One way before the other! Lock it down to 5V and the size goes way up. The comparison to Apple’s 5V and 5W from like 2008 is at best misleading. Are these smaller because of better silicon, yes, are they marginally smaller and the real difference is USB pd, also yes.

No, the real difference isn’t PD2. They have models with identical specs where size difference is not the PD but material.
