The unfortunate part of this is that in a world where manufacturers compete independently on chargers, I think it will be a race to the bottom. Even apple users may accept the drastically lower cost of a $10 charger vs. Apple's. I expect to see more electrical fires in the future as a consequence. The build quality of some of the chargers that get sold online is downright dangerous.
