A minimum cable -- USB 2.0 and 3 amps only -- can be considerably thinner. You don't need the extra USB 3 wires and the power wires don't need to be nearly as thick.
It isn't just a question of cost -- if you want a long cable to charge a phone, you'd probably prefer it to be thinner and more flexible, and you don't need the extra power.
