I never knew that USB-C extensions are not allowed for a reason (www.youtube.com)

There is a reason for USB-C extensions not to be part of the standard. They can be bothersome in the best case and dangerous in the worst.

I have a 240W extension from AliExpress, used with a 120W power for my laptop, it never gets hot even when using 100+W

How does this apply to a usb-c-to-headphone-port adapter, if at all? If someone's using one to regain access to a 3.5mm audio jack, are any risks posed?

Usually if a thing is not allowed, there is a good reason for it. Unfortunately many people seem to ignore that because they don't know or understand the reason.
