This is due to rules imposed by the EU.

  That links says that customers “are able to” not that “they must”. The website makes it sound that companies must sell a version without a charger, not they must sell only without a charger.

  Still, it seems like a bad play by apple. They already struggle in Europe, I don’t understand why they need to make things harder on themselves

    Because Apple always behaves like a kid when loses a battle with their parents, and does malicious compliance.

    This is Apple’s choice to sell only the version without a charger.
