The decision by Apple to only sell a "charge cable" is one of the most baffling things to me. What on earth are they thinking?

Offering it a cheaper price for one of the most common uses where people need > 1 cables (one for home/office etc)?

Or the fact that's very easy to just buy another one for data/video etc?

I guess the standard could do with some color coding, but it's not like its the end of the world. Or worth it to have N different connector technologies just so we can differentiate what does what.

I can see why they sell the cheaper charge cable.

But why in the world don't they also sell an Apple-branded Thunderbolt 3 cable?
