It's just so convenient to be able to use the same charger for every device, and to use the same port for either charging or connecting peripherals. Is it ideal from a security standpoint? Not at all. Does that matter? Not in 99+% of contexts. Security is just not a real issue for the vast, vast majority of people. Those who really have significant risks to consider should adjust their habits and lives accordingly, but nobody else is going to go back to the days of a different, incompatible, power supply for every piece of equipment.
