How about dropping the price $20 if it's not included...

Apple removed something that was and has been standard for over a decade and kept the price tag. If they're really doing it fOr ThE enVirONmeNt, shouldn't they also drop the price accordingly?

...no? How does paying $1000 or $980 affect the environment?

And they didn't "keep the price tag", because they're selling a completely different product than they were a decade ago. And regardless, they're allowed to set the price as whatever they want, for whatever reason.

I feel like complaints about this is just a psych study in loss aversion.

How does paying $1020 as opposed to $1000 affect the environment?

If you bought any other product and couldn't use it without buying additional accessories, you'd be pretty peeved. Should Sony remove the power cable from the PS5 since your PS4 power cable works and charge you an extra $20 for it?

How many people have a multiple unused PS4 power cables laying around their house? Is it like 90+% of PS5 buyers?
How do you know that they didn't drop the price?
