Finally, there would be (almost) zero complaints if it was stated upfront: 'Charger not included. 2A micro USB charger (ir whatever) required.' Many non-childish non-whiners simply feel that mentioning the non-inclusuon if a charger as an 'oh, by the way . . .' several months after they paid is merely a way of cutting costs by leaving out mandatory accessories.
I don't think anyone would disagree it would have been nice if they had told this earlier. However, originally they didn't say either way so it was you, me and some others that thought our own without any factual basis it would include a charger even when one was not promised. It was my mistake to assume. When I first heard it I got over it in less than 5 minutes. One of my first thoughts were: I have already multiple USB chargers (1A and 2A) and if I need more I can easily buy one. And this is exactly what EU was after when they compelled vendors to standardize the power charging of mobile devices.
