The 8 chargers and earbuds sitting in iPhone boxes in my closet are thankful for this change.

I don't think 8 is that many. I probably have a dozen unused charger cubes, in addition to another dozen+ in use all over the house.

The problem is that every Android manufacturer will copy this because Apple did it.

We’re 15 years into the smartphone revolution now. I think people have enough wall plugs and cables by now.

Android manufacturers are just switching to USB-C from microUSB. So, no, nobody has 15 years of USB-C cables lying around.

I don't have a million USB-C cables, but I have a bunch. That is with me having just one USB device I use regularly (wireless headphone I got for cheap from amazon). I was shocked when digging through my drawer and pulling out three of those cables when I had exactly zero USB C devices. I am willing to bet I am the exception, not the norm though.

Android manufactures are just switching to USB C. And the budget phones are still sold with USB B

A few manufactures already do not include ear buds. I don't see the issue with not including the brick and earbuds. I don't use them anyway and it is just waste.

Android (especially budget phones) are still sold with USB B. So they will switch to USB C and not bundle a charger with the box and market it as some environmental gain (which it is).
