Just like they stopped shipping chargers with phones on the pretence that they are saving the environment. Former Government hack Lisa Jackson announced this by tethering herself to the sloping Solar Panel roof of Apple headquarters [1]
They still sell the powerblocks on their website for an extra $19. So they are “saving” (assuming they cost 2 bucks to make ) $2*150MM units = 300MM thats not a small chunk of change.
No one i know saves power blocks like they are bars of gold. They wear from use, break and are lost so as a new buyer i expect a charger to included so i don.t have to shell out an extra $19 to buy from the same company.
Now looks like someone is not falling for their BS [2]
