I understand why unbundling chargers from devices is unpopular, especially as charging cables move from USB-A to USB-C but honestly its the right call.

I currently have more than a dozen USB-A plugs (wall warts) lying around and who knows how many more I've already thrown away. Not once have I purchased a device that used USB-A and needed to buy a wall wart for it.

I will have to buy a few USB-C wall warts but i wont buy a dozen of them.

USB-A to USB-C cables are a thing.
