You have it backwards. Charging will be permitted with any cable - only data communication will be blocked unless you pay the Apple tax. This helps exactly no one - except Apple of course.

None of my Lightning cables are “Apple certified”. They all transfer data find. These are my “universal charging cables” https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092ZT8CJ9 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092ZT8CJ9 - USB A/USB C on one end - USB C/Lightning on the other They transfer data at USB 2 speeds But my truly universal cables are these https://a.co/d/4NVYrmN https://a.co/d/4NVYrmN - USB A/USB C on one end - lightning/USB C/MicroUSB on the other end - 10 Gbps data - 100W charging - video over USB C for my portable display that gets power and video over 1 cable These are thicker and less convenient than the first ones.
