"Landfill" Wouldn't it be best if you donate a cable or something if its in a good enough condition?

Better than just tossing it out, especially if some people don't upgrade every single release and would still like a cable.

Ya that’s dumb asf, especially if it’s just to charge the phone which the majority of people only need it for that.

Problem solved, I have usb c to lightning adaptor too anyone needs to borrow my cable to charge I can use it and so can they

You mean the "re-use" part of reduce, re-use, recycle? Well no it's not profitable you see

Not from Apple's point of view. They want you to buy their latest and greatest, not some used device. They just tolerate that market to push adoption.
