I've always felt it was unnecessary too. A company I worked for a few years ago spent thousands to install wireless charging pads directly into the tables in every meeting room (4 floors worth of rooms). This was before any iphones had wireless charging though, so they also had these wireless charging adapters that plugged into iphones so that they could use them. That means that to charge your phone, you had to plug it in, but then leave it in a specific place in the table, making it so you can't really use it. It was the absolute worst of both worlds. They could have saved a ton of money by just having some cables attached to the table, but instead they wanted to use the hip cool technology before it was practical.
