It’s not about the cost of cables. It’s about the inconvenience of only some cables working. What happens if you lose/forget a cable, or if one dies on you while you’re out in the world using it? It’s much easier to replace a 3.5mm cable than it is to replace a 3.5mm cable that has a pretty narrow spec to it.

But a specialized cable is something you’ll have to depend on yourself for. This is actually an advantage in some cases - if you have an iPhone for example there’s very likely to be someone nearby with a charger just because how common they are.
