Then don’t buy an official Apple charger? You can buy a cheap third party charger almost anywhere.

It doesn't matter if it is official or not, selling a product that needs another one to work is configured as "tie-in sales", plainly prohibited in Brazil's Consumer Protection Code.
In that case, it would be illegal to sell a game console that requires games to work or selling a cell phone that requires cell service to work. Does that also mean that Apple can’t sell an AppleTV without an HDMI cable? Or for that matter sell an AppleTV without selling a router or without selling internet service.
