article is poorly sourced and uses retail price to calculate savings which is silly Furthermore reducing waste inherently saves money. Talk about no good deed

  How is this a "good deed", could you explain your thought process? If you buy a laptop and the manufacturer says they aren't providing the power brick, would you be okay with it? What about a juicer or blender without power chord? If I sold you a bike without seat (and sell it separately), is that a "good deed" in your opinion? A case can be extra. Engravings on a phone can be extra. Stickers can be extra. These aren't necessary to use a phone, a power brick isn't the same as these. You know what they can do to help the environment? Have more ports in their computers, so users don't have to buy more dongles. Make their products easily repairable, so users can keep them longer. Oh no, that would hurt their profits. So "courage" it is, for removing headphone jacks...

    If you already have a cord, an additional one is redundant and unnecessary, needlessly increasing weight and waste as well as cost to move it. If you don’t then you buy it. And yes I’d buy a laptop without a power cord if I happened to already have the same one - at worst I’d buy the one I need.
