Then everyone will claim one and you'll increase waste.

The whole reason they're removing the cable is because of pressure from governments not to waste materials including it.

xD no? Why would everyone claim one? I for example would be fucking glad not to receive e-junk with all my purchases

Because it's free. I guarantee you 90% of people will take free shit if offered free shit.

Including it for free completely undermines the whole reason for removing the cable.

No, I'm not. People don't turn down free stuff with no strings attached. It doesn't happen.
