Qi won, though. Nobody is deploying new non-qi powermat, and supposedly there are firmware updates to make those compatible.

Buying and keeping a phone with no charging port is a very intentional act and I'm not overly worried about that.
And it's still much better to have two ways to charge, one wired and one wireless, than to have three.
