This is also one of the results of PS4 dominating the market, as MS is no longer in a position to nickel-and-dime their customers with various proprietary overpriced crap. 

And a great example why it's good that such domination exists, XOne gamers can only thank Sony for making their hobby easier and less expensive. 

Next up, a USB charging port instead of a $25 cable.

they make you buy a 25$  charging cable too? i know about the battery pack but they also charge for the cable? LOL! so basically for an XB1 controller to have all the PS4's controller features it costs around 120$? 

That's all kinds of wrong. The cable comes with the battery pack, and is no where near that expensive.

Xbox One controller (including play & charge kit): £47.15/$65.97
PS4 controller: £39.00/$50.00

A difference of £8.15/$15.97 is hardly much at all. Also worth noting that the standard controller without the charge kit is cheaper than a PS4 controller so if you break it you can just get the cheaper replacement and use your existing charge kit.

Play and charge kit is $25

But, as I said, you don't have to buy it. When I had X360 I bought 4 rechargable batteries and a charger for $15.

The point is: You buy a controller and cannot use it without an additional expense.
