Yup. Google is a trillion dollar company and they are too cheap to put a 50 cent charger in with the phone.
Though I do agree with you, their way makes better sense from the company perspective. Google is a company, a rich one, whose goal is to make money. That is honestly their top goal, despite whatever. So why include a free charger when you can sell it for $25?
Anyway, I bout the 30W google charger. And I will but the new pixel stand when released. Yeah, I've got old ones/different ones laying around, but the extra speed is nice when in a hurry.
