Not sure about toys, but all electronic devices with remote control I ever bought had the batteries for the remote included. Same for all wall-mountable items, they always include some cheapo wall plugs and screws which most people throw away immediately (I usually keep them, although I never use them). Not including a charger does reduce the amount of electronic waste, but of course, if you buy an expensive phone (and even entry-level iPhones are expensive for the average Brazilian income) and the package doesn't even include everything you need to get started, I imagine you might feel cheated...
