As so most portable devices that need to be recharged away from home.

Such as bluetooth speakerphones which are used with mobile devices.

Basically all non-Apple bluetooth headphones can be charged with USB-C.

Even wired headphones are connected to mobile devices using USB-C.

only Apple who has to be legally obligated to give its users that courtesy.

Even then, Apple is only legally obligated to be nice to its EU customers.
