The world is a better place when companies like Apple do stuff like this properly. Besides, I’d guess that well over 95% of the chargers Apple ships are bundled with a device. Possibly 99%. So the retail cost of the charger on its own is beside the point.
If you want a cheap aftermarket charger, consider products sold by IKEA. While I can’t say it’s an immutable truth, IKEA electronics tend to be well engineered considering their low cost.
