> And no power adapter included.

To be fair, ever since the advent of high power USB-C PD that really, really is not needed any more, way too many power bricks are effectively e-waste.

People already have USB-C power bricks and docks everywhere and unlike pre-USB-C generations, you can use them not just across different generations of hardware, but across vendors as well.

I doubt if that many have USB-C high power bricks unless they are upgrading from another USB-C laptop.

Which MacBooks have been for almost a decade - the 2016 MBP with Touch Bar was the first that went fully USB-C PD. Anyone who has had a MacBook in that time frame will have had at least one high power USB-C PD wall wart.

The Windows world, as usual, has been different, but even there, I'm not aware of any mainstream model being sold in the last two years without even a single PD capable port.

The point isn’t the port but that they don’t come with USB PD charger in the Windows world.

But this is really because of EU regulations anyway. It comes with a charger in the US.
