> The only thing being codified here is that if you happen to use a janky cable Apple didn't certify, the results are on you.
"Janky" is inserted by you. I can use high quality cables that aren't certified and perfectly capable of handling power, and such. With this comes the implication that any manufacturer who is not willing to give Apple a cut of their cable sales is something inferior and subpar.
> They only warrant that if you use the certified cable, your phone won't blow up.
I guarantee you that they warrant no such thing. And that they'll point you at the cable manufacturer if something damages your phone.
