Apple have been fleecing customers on chargers and adapters for years, and Lightning was one of the main culprits in the amount of electronic waste tossed away in the region.

Apple has always used USB-A chargers. You only needed a USB-A -> lightning cable (which was included) instead of an USB-A -> Mini-USB cable or USB-A -> Micro-USB cable or USB-A -> USB-C cable... not a big deal IMHO.

I used my iPad chargers for other devices and vice versa.
