That was never really the case, even back in the Flip phone days it was Mini USB which some people did not know was a standard.

Then came micro USB, which was used for ALOT of devices, and still is

Then came Apple brought Lightening which USB then responded with USB-C

>> where all chargers had a molded cable

So, you can still put an adapter on the end.

Not really: Samsung had its own, LG, Sony, etc. As proved by the existence of this monster: https://www.ebay.it/itm/362002853418

So you have changed your problem from finding one of N charger to finding one of N(N-1) adapters, assuming someone actually built and sold for example a Samsung-to-LG adapter. Not a great improvement.
