A £3000 laptop doesn't come with a fucking charger. It's £99 extra for the one that came with the m4's. thanks a lot Apple, the enshitification is real!

Only in the EU/UK
is there any particular reason why just here?
Because EU regulations require a SKU with no charger and having two separate charger/no charger SKUs costs more and creates more waste. As does buying a separate charger but the EU decided that was preferable.
This isn't enshitification. Most people have plenty of chargers. Its a good thing you can opt in/out.
This. I think I have upwards of 20 chargers I don't use that came with various laptops and other devices. And I don't use any of the OEM chargers, they are too bulky. Pure waste.
