Keep in mind the difference between the maximum spec for something (here, the USB port) and the specs in a particular configuration. Kinda like a 110v power converter rated for 50 watts. The plug may be good for 15 amps and 1650 watts overall, but the converter isn't.
I know of no USB port on an actual machine spec'd for the voltage or amperage to get even close to 200W. Too much risk of damage on both ends. No PC board trace could handle that current. Even a jumper would need to be pretty robust. And where's the demand? Not anywhere you have a 110V outlet. Away from an outlet, on a notebook? For a minute or two (maybe 15 min with a large laptop battery) until the battery is dead.
^ actually, temperature is measured in Kelvin, Centigrade or Fahrenheit. Warmth, or more properly heat, is measured in BTU or Joules. Heat transfer is measured in Watts, which is one Joule per second.
Placebo effect. At my office, personal heaters that plug into AC are not allowed. If too cold, your only choice is the USB heater lap blanket. They are useless, according to those that tried them. While I find it a bit too warm at the setting of 70 they keep it at, others are working in coats. When you have 3 floors with 400 people there is no way to make everyone comfortable.
It's the time of year again. Slip another lump of coal into the stove while Scrooge is looking the other way.
IDIOTIC 200 watts through a USB connector is like someone saying you can pee at firehose strength through your dick.
I think you are exaggerating a little. The 100W power delivery has been a goal for many years and was finally reached in 2014. The Apple MacBook has only one port that delivers both data and power at 100W which is sufficient to power the computer.

Put 200 watts through a 100 watt fuse and see what happens.
Run a circuit that nominally uses 100 watts on a 100 watt fuse and see what happens.
I do have to admit I've stood next to guys that peed like horses (how the F*** do they do that? Did they replace their prostate with a gate valve?), but I don't think they had the stream of a firehose.

If I've had a few beers I sometimes amaze myself when I wake up in the morning. "When will it end...."
