Google recommends OEMs use USB-PD, could make it compulsory later
11 November 2016
The Android smartphone charging protocol is a bit of a mess. While Google itself has been using USB Power Delivery protocol since last year to provide fast charging on its devices, most Android devices rely on Qualcomm's Quick Charge, while others have come up with their own version, such as the DASH charging on the OnePlus 3.

Absolutely yes, its necessary for hardware makers to stick to one standard for charging (common Charger)!! Otherwise it would end up being a fragmented mess because you would then need separate Charger each for a Mediatec, Intel, AMD, Hisilicon, Qualcomm..!
Proprietary charge tecs have arisen simply out of human greed!
-Thank you Google.
