Right, I have gobs of them too... but they’re all USB type A, so the included USB C cable with the iPhone 12 is kinda weird. People don’t have many USB C bricks yet. So I don’t think the logic of “people have them already” checks out
I was thinking the same thing, but on second thought I already have a multitude of USB-A and USB-C to lightning cables and chargers all over the house and ready to go in my backpacks.
