Boxes are smaller, which means more units per shipment which means fewer shipments per quarter which means less logistics cost. And yes; less emissions/carbon footprint overall. That part is not bullshit but make no mistake, Apple found a way to increase their bottom line simultaneously.
This move to is supported by power adapters or Qi/MagSafe pads and Bluetooth headphones (sorry audiophiles) being ubiquitous at this point. Especially with Apple moving primary devices to USB-C.
It would be odd at this point for someone not to have a adapter or pad when they get their new iPhone/iPad/AirPods/Apple TV 4K. The caveat is if you’re transitioning from USB-A to Lightning and somehow missed the USBC-C to Lightning transition years. Then horror upon horror, you might need a $10-20 USBC charger to use with the appropriate USBC charge cable that still comes with the iPhone.
I will say that the Apple TV should still come with a cable to charge the Siri Remote, in my opinion. You could conceivably have an ATV4K and not have another Apple device.
