That's not analogous. Not including the charger in newer iPhones actually reduced e-waste for me personally. I have collected many charges over the years and don't need more. When a device fails or I trade it in - I keep the charger (as most people I would think).
Perhaps they should have made the charger optional... but completely agree overall with the decision not to include it.
