I'm assuming you're in the EU or UK, Apple is required by law to not include a power adapter:

In the US they provide one in the box free of charge.

Nope, they are required to have an option to opt-out from adapter. They choose to charge for one!

The option to opt out is effectively the same as charging to include one, unless you include the variation where you can opt out and pay the same price to not get one.

You know how we know its not that because its 3,599 without the power adapter and 3,678 with it which of those prices seems like the intentional cost of the machine

Does the law say they have to charge for it.

No, but the law doesn’t say they have to give it away for free.
