I am not too concerned with it since most of the time if there is a data connection it would rely on you confirming the popup asking to make a data connection to your phone, so the only way it otherwise could access your phone is if it exploits a not-yet-fixed vulnerability.

I normally bring my own charger so I can get QuickCharge which public chargers generally don't have, but if all I have available is a USB port I'm just going to plug in. I don't wear an aluminum foil hat either.

Bold of you to brave the cruel world of options with no safety shield upon your head.

As noted, these are more for folks that don't know better and will plug-in anywhere. Like you, I carry my original charger which supports all modes. I don't fear being jacked, but I do know that there are more AC ports in the world that USB charge ports.
