A decade ago I bought $1.00 knock off Lighting cables that worked on my 2012 iPhone's 5W charger.
When I heard that fast charging was possible using the 10-12W iPad charger I switched to that.
To my surprise I started to smell burning palstic as thecable's insulation started to smoke through and melt.
Since then I used MFI-compliant Anker USB-A to Lightning cables.
Back when the 2015 Google Nexus 6P & 5X phones came out there was a mad dash for USB-C cables & chargers. The big topic back then was USB-C compliant cables. It was so bad that Google engineer Benson Leung made a database on what brands are compliant or not.
I know everyone's saying Apple's profiteering from Lightning port but to be honest I rather pay $10 than lose my house or my life.
