Now it’s just a fuck you at this point

I dunno, I have so many USB c chargers and cables around that I bin them every time a device comes with another cable.

Agreed, but Apple removes things from the box, and the price stays the same...

And being good for environment goes it the window when they are packaged, shipped separately instead now

I honestly still hardly have any (spare) USB-C cables, and while I’d never pay for one I always do find the official Apple ones quite reliable.

I don't know, mine keep breaking every few years around the device. I think it's because I sometimes grab the phone without realizing I was charging it

At least keep a box of cables and donate it to an electronics recycling or a electronics upcycling store (ReUse, NextStep).
