Honestly, if 25W charging is the biggest gripe they have, then this seems like a solid choice.

Sure, it might take a while for the 5000 mAh battery to charge, but it's also a 5000 mAh battery. It will take a while to discharge. Plus I'm sure most people charge their phone overnight. And you can easily fill that capacity with simply a 5 Watt charger while you sleep.
Plus the slower charge rate will protect your battery even longer.

Furthermore, in the past 15 years of owning cell phones, not once have I needed to charge it in an absurdly short period of time. I guess I just don't understand why it's such a big issue or selling point.

I opened the article because of that. It takes 1 hour and 15 minutes to fully charge. Is that really so disappointing to someone? Feels fine to me. I'm more disappointed it doesn't have a headphone jack again.

It is when you experience true fast charging. Having a full battery in 30-50mins vs 75mins or higher.
