Given the vast financial incentive apple has for keeping its chargers proprietary, I find it difficult to believe Apple is doing this for the primary reason of benefitting their users.

I don't think phone chargers register even a blip in the financials of a trillion-dollar company.

But the bad press and bad customer experience from people having problems with "Apple" chargers probably does.

It's called protecting the brand.
