If a new PC comes with a keyboard and my old PC also came with a keyboard, one of those keyboards is excessive and will probably end up in the trash as society is overwhelmed by everyone’s excess keyboards. It’s why phones have to all use the same charger now, and they don’t come with a cable.
No, corporations wanted it so that they all had proprietary chargers that either you had to pay inflated prices for, or that third parties had to pay fees for to sell you cheaper versions. The only reason they all use USB-C now is because of government regulation.
I don’t need to pay them additional money for a charger because I already have a variety of USB wall adapters and cables, and I could buy them from almost literally anyone if I didn’t. There are whole bins of them in lost-and-founds and secondhand shops.
But this is supposed to be a console like all in one device. If the Steam verified program gives a game verified badge for a keyboard centric game, and it does not come with keyboard and mouse, then its simply wrong rated. And I think the verified rating should take this into account and do not verify such games. That is my point I was making.
It doesn’t come with a controller either. You don’t have to use their controller, so it’s good that it’s an optional purchase.
They used to sell PCs with a keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, and various software all without the option to buy just the PC. It was awful because it made the machine more expensive for the consumer, and it also generated a ton of waste.

What do you mean e-waste keyboards?

…because corps want you to pay additional money for that? I hope you don’t believe corps care about ecology.

Didn’t corps start using mini and micro usb for phones before the regulations?
