Good. I hope other manufacturers follow suit.
Two reasons why this is good:
1. Since being competitive on cost incentivizes others to do the same, this is a strong push towards standardization of chargers (and with abundance of USB3-PD flavors, we aren't quite there).
2. I have way more chargers than I can make use of. I believe that this is more common than not having a single USB-C charger. The environmental cost of this is a negative externality that I feel this move reduces (even if by a little bit).
If I were to make a decision on this, I would introduce an environmental disposal tax on all devices which would disincentivize freebies like that.

(I assume you aren't littering) This would be an internalized cost. You are paying for the cost of your own waste.
