"Most people" is something you're making up. I'll wager it's a minority. Most iPhone consumers either had a USB-C charger before, or a USB-A charger with Lightning cable from a previous iPhone, or they have a recent Mac with USB-C ports, or they have a recent PC with USB-C ports, or they have an iPad and a USB-C charger from that. Probably it's a tiny minority who are in your situation. Would you have rather paid extra for the phone and not gotten to choose your preferred charging method? This way you can go out and get a MagSafe charger, which is better anyway.
