That would not surprise me at all.

I've experienced several third party charging cables that somehow stop working so reliably immediately after an iOS update.

Apple definitely wants as much of the pie as they can get.

Or maybe Apple doesn't want to pay warranty claims (or, worse, lawsuits) on stuff that's burned up by cheap third-party power supplies and cables that are millimeters away from a fire at any given moment.
