USB ports on a wall outlet or power strip are usually much more space efficient than a charging brick.

They're also much less capable though. Have fun finding a USB-C PD port anywhere when you need to charge your laptop - a power outlet is much more useful.

I basically end up using power bricks for laptop and phone, and ports built into a power strip for everything else. Most stuff doesn't need full PD support (but most anker power strips actually support it, just not at very high wattage).

I don't think you can do the PD standard from a USB a port. Edit: Reading the Wikipedia page, it sounds like usb-a supports PD 1.0 but not 2.0+ and the higher power requirements.
