That's ~~another~~ a different question. Not needing to buy a cable because you've already got one is one aspect of sustainability. However, in future, more people will have to buy cables (and chargers) as the will no longer be bundled with new smartphones.

And no one should be buying slow cables that they're likely to trash anyway once they figure out their limitations...

I have no idea why they only fulfill the USB 2.0 specification and not 3.x either, except using them for file transfer being a more rare use case than charging.

I have no doubt it's because of the cost.

You can get these connectors for less than 1€.
If you order directly from China I'm sure they'll be even cheaper.
